| HA now that's a coincidence! The four Kohaku I'm refering to are also from Hasagawa. I had the exact reaction when all the shimmies started coming up... no more Kohaku! I feel different now and I'm glad I kept them. Too bad we have the stupid North Sea between us Bob. It would be interesting to try exchanging a fish for a year to see if yours lost the shimmies and mine got them back.
Perhaps it's a Hasagawa thing. At any rate I'm convinced that some fish are more prone to shimmies than others. While three of the four lost their shimmies, I'm sure the forth would have gotten them no matter where it had been kept
Like wise I'm sure That the fish of certain breeders are more prone to them as well. It may well be that some excellent kohaku need very special conditions to stay that way while others may be a bit more resistant (but perhaps of slightly lesser quality?)
