Thanks for posting pictures of your recent acquisition. Hopefully, you'll be able to post more pictures of the Koi's development in this thread, so we can all see how they develop pattern-wise, rate of growth etc
To date, being based in a tropical/equatorial climate restricts my experience with Koi that tend to look their best in colder climate, and I look forward to more info about them.
Earlier this year, I was a offered a Kumonryu that was a show winner at a breeder's show in Japan but it didn't look like it's show-winning best after being relocated to our warmer waters. Even so, I'm still considering it...
Some people here will still buy a not so good-looking imported Kumonryu merely based on the Feng Shui significance of it name i.e. the auspicious Dragon
