| TylerJ: Tosai are all koi who have had their first season of growth. Some will be kept by the breeder for a second season, and some are selected for immediate sale. Those being sold as Tosai are tateshita. Elsewhere it was pointed out that on occasion a breeder may be convinced to allow one planned to kept a second year to be purchased, at a high price. Such a tosai is not tateshita, but you will never see one for sale as tosai. |
