Thanks Larry for your 2 cents woth
I would really love to hear from more of the Gurus here. Perhaps I should be more specific a bit..
Lets say you have purchased a Nisai Kohaku (of potential show quality) and with the intention of showing her in the future. Lets target her for the 75cm category. You have Summer all year round. How would you raise her good and healthy so that she will have a good chance of winning.
I have read Duke Nguyen piece on how he raised his GC in Nichiren MAgazine. His weather conditions is closer to those in Japan with the 4 seasons. His koi has a cycle of growth and hibernation. In a one season environment, can we achieve the same kind of development?
