Most of you know by now that I like getting study tosai to learn from. Tho I'm not "finished " with this study, here are a couple of individuals and their progress, that i thought you'd enjoy seeing and hearing about. Mat hand selected these guys for me. The pics are taken today as they near their first year of growth.the GR was 7 1/2 inches upon arrival at the end of may and now 14. The Wagoi was 7 inches then (5/27) and now 12. I kept them at 77 F and feed saki hikari growth. No black is showing on these guys yet, Mat said it would be a few more years yet before it showed. I intend to decrease the heat and growth at the end of this month and line up the temperature gradually with the outside pond. I have 2 asagi's that need to spend the winter inside and I have a kohaku in the mud this year with Mat that will be coming home as well. They were in a 2000 gal pond with a total of 10 tosai. This facility had quite the filtration, air and RO water unit.
