Good Info Ray & Don...

One other thing I can add when your current fish get some size on them and you invest again in tosia...if you need to net various sized koi (maybe for a show) always begin with the smaller ones first. They are the most difficult and if you save them till last they'll be so "wired' that even a pro will have a difficult time catching them.....

I tend to be very slow and deliberate and i like to get several smaller fish in a corner and slowly raise up as opposed to segregating just one koi as they seem to know by themselves that they're number is up.....
