Marudo kohaku for Mike Pfefer.

Mike you were saying you were into Marudo kohaku and I thought I'd show you mine.
I bought it two years ago in Japan and thought I had a bargin. I should have asked the sex though!
It was bought as nisai and had a super body and no sign of yellowing of the head. After a year living with my female koi, it started to get a yellow head, so I hooked it up and a light squeeze revealed milt.
It now lives with my male koi!
It's prone to shimmies, that's something to remember.
I have somewhere some photos of Hirasawa sans kohaku oyagoi he bowled while I was there, I'll try and dig them out, may be of interest to you.

Nice quality. take last march.
