Dukes fish was awesome, never seen any fish here in the USA, that could compete with it. Was very mpressed with the Kohaku, but honestly I was more impressed with Duke's Koi husbandry skills. Antonio you are right, when I seen that fish come out of the transport tank, and put into the show tank, I was in awe, to have seen this size kohaku here in the USA, and in the condition it was in. Speeks for itself. You expect to see this size and quality in Japan, but not here. I think we need to get Joe Co, back out of retirement, I have seen his fish, and he has a few that would render us all speechless also.
