Joe:
You're right he uses a settlement before bead...I've found that I don't need it yet... might be a different story once the 10 koi in the 1500 gallon pond reach 27-30 inches...You remember the 6-7" koi I got from you and Ken...they're about 10-12+" today...The showa is the most aggressive eater and is the largest might even be 14"... Our koi are like our women, we grow um big
except for shir of course...
