I don't like to go to one dealer in town anymore b/c fish are poorly housed and it pisses me off. The other place is right down the street from my house, so I visit them about once a week and hang around. But we don't have 1/100th the quality / quantity of fish around here to eyeball and enjoy. If I lived where you guys do, I'd be there every day - it's like Playboy mansions of koi everywhere!

Damn "Koi Stalkers", that's Akinosan. I am just "Koi Kichi" hahahaha...I probably hangout at Champion 3 or 4 times a week and Genki Koi about 2 times a week. The funny thing about hanging out at the dealers is I learn easier and faster since there are thousands of koi to look at. I have been dealing long enough they trust me when I want to look at something. Everything is hands on and your not trusting a pic to see things like "Luster", "Sashi", "Maki", and "Fukurin"...It's the things a book or a magazines can't cover...
