I feel that showing koi is part of the hobby. When you first buy Koi you are just glad to see big colorful fish in your pond. The more you learn the more you know that they are just colorful fish. You start to learn about Sumi, Beni, and type of patterns and styles of the Koi. You also learn as you go along that your are looking for certain Koi that will develope in the later years. We all love are Koi and wish we could have the perfect Koi which we know their is no such thing.
We all strive to have the knowledge of people that we admire around us. We all know who they are because they are the ones that are at the Koi stores that know alot about Koi.
But must importantly you know you have learned alot about Koi when you can make a statement like this.
I will bring out the fish when it is ready and I am sure to win. One thing I have learned and I have yet to show, no one is for sure to win.
I do not mean anything by this big KOI UNIT
