bowled up this koi last weekend, another one that i'm happy with. born in mid/2004. i bought the fish at 23cm in Nov '04. first pic was taken in March '05, 37cm. 2nd pic taken last weekend (Sept '05), 51 cm.

this koi should be a female.

Tell you what, you can pick my koi out for me anytime! You've done a nice job filling that koi out and you can see that the red is filling back in, within each individual scale. So you also know obviously how to keep water! good job!

Well i have seen this one in person and it is one of the your kois that immediatedly caught my attention. I asked about this one didnt i ? Agreed that it has wonderful skin quality especially the shiroji. I supposed a lot has to do with your keeping skils and certainly you are not dissaponted with benihanako like i do !
