I had always heard that the Matsunosuke line stayed fairly thin until they are 5 or 6. Finally, this summer she is starting to put on some girth. She has always had a powerful body structure. Her peduncle is as big around as my forearm.
What kind of koi food are you using?

I always use a mix of several foods. In the morning the Koi get Ray Abell's hi protein sinking pellet. The rest of the day they get a mix of Hi Silk 21 and wheatgerm. In the cooler months when the water temperature is below 70F (we're talking FL here so there are no cold months), they get only wheatgerm. In January they get nothing except the occasional Manda Fu we like to hand feed.

Nice,...

That's a truly beautiful Kohaku Henry! I look forward to seeing it in person sometime soon!

Best Wishes,
