[FowlPlayFarm]

I made a couple of blank excell and word docs to keep records of my koi. I punch in the info when I get a new fish and I can then track changes in pattern, record injuries, treatments and the results so I can consult later. I also put in the initial impression of the koi so that if it turns out butt ugly I should be able to learn from my mistakes and further my koi selection, appreciation process.

Date: 12-Nov-04
Inv. #: KORO-0001
Name:

Notes: Drawn to the Inazuma like pattern, pretty good balance although a little heavy especially on the left second third (hope it grows into the pattern), broken at base of dorsal fin, white intrusions over left eye. Good deep red, does not go into eyes, reaches to the lateral line on both sides. Black just starting to emerge, appears only in Hi now but may have some underlying Sumi in the forward third right in front of the dorsal, nice robed pattern, too much black in the Hi on the head but it is centered. Good tail stop, confirmation looks pretty good, white is ok at this point, clean pecs, a couple of metallic scales left side of dorsal. Might be a male.
