BTW... checkout under the "Noike Koi" tab at Genki's site some of the larger tategoi currently being raised at Ooyama's farm.

Very hard to ignore pattern and colors in these. So which one would you pick Mike?

Well, I'd like to see in person why the $3500 ones are priced so much higher than the $1500 ones. I think quality of the pigment is playing a significant role in the pricing and that just cannot be seen too well in a picture. It is quite an opportunity for those in a position to take the risks of the mud pond. I think one has to be a gambler in more ways than one. But, the pricing could prove quite reasonable for a guaranteed female nisai. If one hits all the quality points, it's a steal. Tough to say from photos, so there has to be a willingness to place reliance on the judgment of the breeder and dealer.

They are very nice koi......I really like n206, especially the price. What makes this koi less valuable besides the current size? I realize the pics can not define the true beauty, but n206 has a unique pattern. Any thoughts?

These guys are going fast. My favorites at each price were all taken already. If you're still thinking about it, don't take too long. I did.
