Good question Tony. I brought her back because I wanted to raise her myself and also I do not have many new kois after rebuilding my pond.Although this sanke have many fine qualities,she wont be All Japan show winner.To keep her in Japan for another season means keeping charges and if she turn out 70cm next year,I will have to pay more for freight to bring her back.Lastly,Sakai Fish Farm is 1 of the top few Japanese koi breeders,naturally they will have to take care of many customer's kois,so for koi like this,dont think they will be extra TLC for it unless shes All Japan show material.
