Hey, that sounds like sarcasm 101! I got a PhD in that.
I would like to clarify some things. These were bought out of a tank of about 100 of Hoshikins best Jumbo Tosai that were FOR SALE. I have never, ever said that they were Tategoi. In fact, I did not ask to even see Hoshikin' Tategoi Tosai. I do not think that you can even buy a Tategoi Tosai from Hoshikin for under $5,000.00 wholesale, so if anyone does try to sell you a Tosai from Hoshikin as Tategoi you SHOULD be wary. I did say that these Tosai could be kept with Hoshikin in his mud ponds, but not because they are Tategoi, but because the quality would merit it. Hoshikin charges $200.00 per Tosai for a grow out fee. I do not know why Mike said what he said but it was innacurate and incorrect. Again these are very High Quality Jumbo Tosai from Hoshikin.

P.S. I will post more pictures as I can.
