Kohaku dob 11 june,04, so 14 months koi are sized at 20 inches. That is amazing. The new age on jumbo koi is becoming more and more common. Tosai at 50 cm., nisai at 70 cm. I would like to see the koi Mr. M is keeping to grow on. I wonder if customers get a glimpse of them?
To keep the jumbo females Mr. M recommends 100 ton ponds minimum. That's 27,000 gallons more or less needed to grow these koi shown at auction to full potential. The 1500 ton pond contains customers koi, so that must be what these auctioned koi are swimming in . An Olympic sized swimming pool holds 2700 tons of water to give you an idea.
