| Yes, several others with good growth also, probably more that haven't even posted yet. Maybe some of the others that were quick to blame the dealer will be able to see where they went wrong and improve, which is the point of the contest I believe. I've had very good luck with koi from Kevin Pham so far, another Sakuma showa that will be a winner and Gin Rin Shiro Utsuri all doing very well, I've had a few from other importers that just never seemed to grow much. in a little cooler climates may actually be at an advantage over 6 months, others in the middle still need that nice fall weather. Then I'm sure some will be heated or those FL and CA ponders will really blow everyone away overwinter. I would not be suprised with a 20-25" winner. Mine have another month of feed and probably another 1" in them before it ends next spring. |
