back in the mud again

[MikeM]

Headache: I have 7 going in the mud in NJ. One is quite special, but she was selected for me by Henry & Dick, so I kinda think of her as a "group project". There is one in particular that stole my heart as a tosai that I have great interest in seeing develop. Her name is "Tattoo". This her last October. From approx. 7" to 19" after 5 months in the mud.

Nice looking fish looking at scales you can see the growth you will have to tell me all about them in Orlando . I am leaving on Mon and I will spend a few days looking at breeders and wholsalers with my friend who has a large water garden centre to see what we can find

very nice. Just enough magic shows through in the pix to see why she's so special to you.

MikeM , That is some "Major" growth in only 5 month's ! To think I mite have a 20 in. Kohaku in Nov. just blow's me away !!!

Any photo's of the other's ?

Well, there was a tosai Showa that ended up with a bad fin over the summer. But, I had the insurance Nisei offers. So, this little one will be going to the mud to give me a surprise come October. ....Perhaps not a jazzy fish, but a subtle beauty in the making?

My avatar, an Ooyama showa was in the mud last year and it should be going back in the mud again this year.

Here are the before and after pix from last year...

A friend of mine was looking at buying this Kujaku from Quality Koi . Matt told her , it's his #1 . She was going back in the Mud , Sold or Not Sold !

thank-you Jim, I did miss that bit of news, so thanks. The skin on that koi was really nice and the color was perfect for the age...
