Wish I could help Mike but I also did not save any pics of the ones that took a dive!

My present study is really taking me into water and what it's like in japan and here at home. (they ain't the same)

I think it's why koi that look promising in proper water according to the japanese rating system over the years don't turn out quite the same in our water. It ain't their fault. and unless we become sie it is ignorance on our part.


But the olde expression of apples to apples really does apply here.

playing with water chemistry is not to be taken by the casual player. it can do even worse harm. But there is value in a consistant content that closer mirrors
the breeders waters.
