Here are some pictures of some of the Showa that will be available at the PSKoi Yamamoto Showa event on April 14th.

Looks like a fine group Rus.
Is this going to be a 'lottery/choice' style of sellection, where participants draw for first choice?

I chose this one. I don`t know the terminology in English.Only can use Chinese English . It looks balance .The black on the head will more clear, and the black on it`s hands will shrinkage.
let`s it more powerful. The more important is ,the body is one of the fluency. It has a strong and beauty tail. It will be a showa in the rules.

I am sorry to say that I have had one of those moments that no one wants to ever have. Last night after taking pictures of the Yamamoto Showas I decided to top off one of the tanks while I clean up the yard. I have the showas spilts up into two different tanks, which is a good thing. Needless to say I forgot to turn off the water in one of the tanks, so we now only have 11 Yamamoto Showa left. 4 of the 11 in the tank I topped off are still clinging to life and I have been working on them for an hour, but I do not have any real hope for them as the will probably suffocate slowly and die. At this point I do not know what it means for the event, I just thought I would let every one know. We will post more information as we make decisions on what to do.

Sorry to hear about the accident. I hope you can still continue with the event. Make lemonade from lemons so to speak.

aw shucks. So sorry.

A dreadful type mistake that does not discriminate neither entry level hobbyist nor pro level. It helps if water for ponds, say blue in hoses'color, pass thru a activated carbon tank. For those with chloramine-only city water, insist on GAC with the trade name Centaur by Calgon. MA.Le

Russell-

I have made that mistake more than once. In fact this past weekend I accidently 1/2 dosed ST during a water change. The result was basically no harm but this hobby is one that requires focus and good habits, always engineering ways to improve from previous mistakes. Was this showa killed? I really liked this one.
