to loose that 'low class breeder' title I've given myself!
I spent last evening reducing the numbers of the first kohaku spawn; I'm down to 300 now.
The photo below shows a bowl of 'nearlies'.
Top left is the second biggest at 16cm, but sadly a little bald.
Next to it is a maruten with lovely skin, but the pattern is bland.
Center bottom is going to end shiro muji.
The one with best potential of this bunch is center right, the pattern look insignificant at this stage, but will look good when bigger, shame the tail stop is a little large.

Maurice.
Still 'low class'
