Mark:
Just viewed the Momotaro DVD put out by Brian of KoiBito...One segment shows Maeda san measuring his koi...
All he uses is what looks like a meter L x 30cm W x 45cm deep blue tub with a white tape rule glued to the side and bottom...
His assistant places the the koi in the tub, Maeda san turns it in the right direction, pulls it to the side of the tub with the rule, places the nose to the short side of the tub (0cm), holds the koi in place with his left hand and flattens the tail with his right, and calls out the measurement...
Was measuring nisai and up...ranging from 30-80 cm koi straignt just in from the mud ponds...no thrashing, no problems...Sometimes it's best to keep it simple...
This seems like an inexpensive way to go....
Aloha! Mike
