Thanks all.....I have been trying hard to improve my herd. I really don't have lots of money to buy big koi, so I just get little ones from good breeders and let them grow. I know as they grow and my pond reaches capacity, I'll either need to cull or build another pond. I like the new pond idea the best!! LOL!!
The Shiro came from Keirin, not Kevin. Sorry for the confusion.
He is a male and from Omosako.
Mitten....I can;'t tell you if you picked right because for some reason I can't see my pictures. I can post them....but not see them. Strange. I can see them from my computer at work though!! If we dont get hit with an ice storm tonight, I'll check when I get to work and let you know if you got it.
Dick, you are right....I REALLY need a nice Asagi. I bought a little one last year but it was shipped to me with mouth rot. I fixed him up (Amikacin and tricide neo dips) but I think the amikacin may have stunted his growth because he has grown maybe 1" in the past year. I'll cull him and try to get a new one at SKE.
Want to see what my herd looked like in February 2005? I still have one of these original fish. See the Sanke in the top left corner? I am keeping it just to show people what happens to koi when you don't take care of them. He's about 6 or 7 years old now, and maybe 14" long at the most. Bonsai koi!!! This picture was taken while they were in a swimming pool, waiting for the new pond to get done. Only that one made it to the new pond. I gave most away, and killed some of them too because I bought some new koi and didnt QT them.
