I couldn't help but notice 4 out 6 kois that took major awards for Momotaro Koi Farm were male. I saw this on their page update today. I find it intersting that male koi which are not usually as "prized" as the females are now displaying excellent qualities; from confirmation, skin quality, size, color and pattern are now winning.
Could this be a sign of things to come?
