Hey Jim, who are some of the breeders of the kois pictured? You goin to Quality Koi harvest? You and Dick are lucky....If so say hi to Ross and Tara for me..

I assume that it is Shawn shopping in Japan, but I think Bill is a member here on the board so perhaphs he can chime in with the answer to who the breeders are.

In case you do read this Bill I have a second question. That is these are all very good looking fish , but they are for the most part not go-sanke (at least the ones pictured). Do you tend to buy more hikari an kiwari types becuase that is what sells better here. I see that these are obviously not your regular pond grade fish here, and I am sure they are not cheap. So are people just willing to pay more for higher level non gosanke than they are for good go-sanke in your (my) area?

Both Bill and Shawn are in Japan right now. I will try to get some more info.

Cool, it is nice to see the dealers perspective on the Japan trip...I wish more hobbyist would open up about there trip experience. It brings us ordinary Joe's that closer to Japan....
