Good Luck.

No, I meant in the states.

Excellent choice! Take some more pics after she is delivered!

Thank you everyone. Kevin is shipping her monday morning and we should received her in SA, TX international AP that evening. I have my fingers cross she will make it through our Thunderstorms alright. I have not taken any of our koi to shows yet, and it looks like we will miss our local show this weekend. It goes without saying but, open invitation for any koi lovers who come to visit SA, TX. you will be welcome, just drop me a line. While your hear, you may want to drop Ray Jordan a line he is one of our local koi celebraties and friend. He has a beautiful pond and heard.

Wow beatiful!!
I am knew to Koi ponds and am still in the r&d stage. You've taught me a great lesson on patience in your quest while, " Looking for the right Kohaku".!!!

This is something that I am sure I will read about later in my research;but, what do you mean by,

"It is a 30" female 6 year old Sakamaki three step from Genki Koi."
or in an earlier post you made mention to a "Two step..."
Sorry if this is a dumb question.

Thanks Vince

Vince: The 'steps' refers to the pattern. Think of stepping stones across a stream.

Thanx for the clarification. I am learning a lot just by "lurking" around the forum. Also by reading old,old threads.
Thanks Mike!
