Thanks Maurice-

I bought her in October 2002 at 35 cm. I was not able to return in October of 2003 however, the dealer did and had her shipped to me in November 2003 at 57 cm. I was very pleased with the growth. I would have liked to keep her in Japan for an additional year but it was not to be. I have two other Marudo kohaku, one male, one female that I purchased in the US when Marudo was visiting back in August 2001. I've had them for over two years and no shimmies. The male, believe it or not, is doing pretty well in koi shows. Great skin. I have a good feeling about Mr. Hirasawa(Marudo) and he is a must visit for me this October.
