| And that Kohaku is beautiful as well. Size ?
Also Brady one of the breeders I met in Japan in Oct stated that the faster developing koi tend to live shorter lives where as koi that take five to ten years to develop will usually live much longer. Not a big deal for someone who only wants to show ( a completely valid view in my opinion ) but for those of us who don't show the idea of my $1000 koi dying before my grandaughter grows up is not a plesent option.
BTW , this particular breeder has sensai typically in the 18" to 22" range. |
