| [quote=dtbh;84491]Today I netted my Big Rose kohaku to take some photographs after a long "lay-off" and I thought I'll share the progress of this koi with you.
Nice to see the progress thanks for sending . This fish is a little to big for your pond if you were kind to it you would send it to my pond each summer .
Sometimes I wonder how koi are raised itjust does not make sense to raise a fish the first 2 winters in Japan at tremendous heating costs and then sell to Malesia or South africa as a nissai . When they really should be raised in Malesia from the 5 month age then shipped around the world or back to Japan at the age of 3 when a dormancy can be given to get full potential of fish .
