Hi Dan,

Thanks for your comments.

She is Sansai and 63cm.

As for the breeder, I don't know. I bought the koi from Shintaro, he buys two or three top class tategoi from a "secret" breeder every year and grows them on in his lightly stocked mud ponds. Hence the growth.

Whilst we were there he harvested his four year olds, there were two Siro Utsuri that were around 70cm and stunning.

He may be known for his Sanke but he certainly knows how to choose tategoi Shiro Utsuri too.

Regards

PaulH
