yes Mike, that practice is still in place. All a student gets is room and board. At the end they have the opportuinity to get a breeding pair.

one bit of info for KFG, when it comes to breeding kohaku.

tancho to tancho don't breed all tancho. they breed kohaku.

the number of steps on a kohaku doesn't mean you will get that many steps with the fry Take a look at sakai hiroshima's brood koi or maeda's eagle. Simplistic patterns on their females. Remember this breeder's name from Ojiya.
hasegawa. I heard he got hit really hard from the earthquake. his males throw
unique patterns. sakai of isawa bought one from him a few years back. his stuff is not noted for size but the quality is there.
