| Koi That Fail
It is always a treat to see photos of how a fine koi developed from tosai, but it occurs to me that the ones that turn ugly are not posted. I think we have all invested time, money and energy in koi that went down hill. Posts elsewhere by DickB and B.Scott brought to mind that the master breeders in Japan are very focused on learning which of their fish will crap out, so ones of that sort can be sold sooner, rather than later. So, anyone willing/able to post sequential pics of koi that got worse? Don't be embarrassed, we've all done it. It could be very informative. What to avoid is as important as what to seek. I'd post a whole bunch, except I have not saved those pics! ... guess I did not want to remind myself?
