| Am surprised to see that picture here! It's a blast from the past... one of 42 Koi that I bought from a Japanese ZNA judge, 41 of which arrived damaged! Most of the damage was old untreated damage... I was well ripped off! But, it was a long time ago, and a good learning experience!
Anyway, take a look at the next Koi-Bito magazine. "The 80cm Quest" is an article that is aimed firstly at growing Koi from Tosai to 80+ in hobbiests ponds, but also to demonstrate how seemingly minor points of a Koi, can result in the Koi 'going wrong' in the long term. Unfortunately, the article should have hit the last issue of the mag, but as I am so disorganised, it had to go into the issue which is due out now. So, sizes are about three months behind.
