Glad they're doing well now, and I'm sure you are anxious to get to the bottom of the cause so it doesn't have the chance to happen again. So what are your feelings on the shiro's??? You guys have done well with them in the show ring, so I'm thinkin' you've probably got a more educated eye than most of us in the growout

Thanks Larry for your kind words. We're getting past it somewhat as time passes it stings a little less.

For the shiros....I think I have to obstain!!! LOL I usually never purchase any fish, let alone shiros under the age of 2 (minimum), usually 3 years of age. Much more stable at that age. You'll get a good idea at how bad my eye can be with these fish when KOIUSA comes out with an article that serveral of us responded to for an amature judging excercise.
