Due to hiccups with the phone connection, I’m still able to post for another day. I’ve had to pop back and make a few phone calls, as my mobile bill is getting silly!!
Last 2 days culling hariwake and my heart rate went up when I saw this one in the culling net.
I thought this would make a good show koi in the smaller sizes, but sadly the lustre does not stretch down onto the face, so no go and not No-Gyo-Sai.
Shame. I think the lustre is fixed at this age, but I’m sure Brady or Brett will put me right.

The black speck is in the water.
