I’m at the moment just sitting her reading up but you riddle my chain as normal.



We are glad and envious one your behalf after reading this tread. Totally agree in the trust and seek out part. We used seven years too find the one and its just three small country’s away. Her in Norway most off the Nishikigoi for sale are “Japanese” and its really no big add for the breeders we have learned too respect.

The grey zone feels more like a black one for us. We feel that in this age off communication and equipment there should bee only a modest cost involved in following the lower grade all the way home too us the customer. This would bee before comparing with the free advertising!



We don’t feel that it would harm the breeder to state that this is for example his lowest grade off Tateshit. In fact we brought home some off these a couple off year ago and the by far outperform most off the Nishikigoi available her. As you stated we even can recognise some off the traits. And when closing our eyes (not looking at the pictures you guys have) we know that we want a better one next time and from whom.



By implementing something like this the competition would take one a better taste. The novices would get a better feel for the hobby and relation too the sources and skills involved would bee clearer.

Too our knowledge there are not many (if any) her that can support there claim too Japanese Nishikigoi further than their name (Norway) As for breeders the answer for the same shipment often is whatever you as an customer will claim (tried this out with three different testers).



This ranting above is not too excluding anyone. We breed one the lowest ever-possible scale and have the deepest respect for anybody that can deliver nice and better Nishikigoi. Still out off the 20-50 Nishikigoi that leaves us every other year every one has its origin paper and data with them. They are just at our level nothing more or less.
