I think our breeders here in America and the UK have great parent koi, the knowledge and desire and it will happen.

I don't profess to have a crystal ball but as i read the future, shipping costs and disease will begin to have more and more koi keepers looking to local production.
Will it ever be like Australia? I wouldn't exclude that from happening...

I do believe the best breeders of koi right now are in japan, but the gap is closing rapidly and other factors may very well change the scope of things.



SMG...The west coast heh? This is a good thing! This weekend I sort my asagi's
and the biggesr female with the least of color will be named "minnow"....
