Does this mean the numbers will change, or are you just deleting duplicates?

ok....

First thing, here is a link of the zip file of all the pics updated without the duplicate koi and the Jnorth tancho. just right click the link and save as:

omosako.zip

This is the 3rd year I have been bringing in these same quality small shiros from Omosako. I had one of my cutomers come in yesterday who had bought 3 shiros from me last year and he brought in some video and photos of when he pulled them up in October. Ill try to upload the video after comprssing it because you can see the koi much better than the photos. The 3 Shiros are all around 18 inches. (notice the tobi hi gone from the head of shiro 1174)

enjoy

Wow! The hi disappeared and the shiro really brightened.

I think those pics were definitely worth posting, Shawn.

Looks like the best indicator may be the shiro in the tailstop.

Amazing how much they have changed over a year! Two things that strike me the most are how the shiroji is so much whiter and how the "baby sumi" has receded in these koi. Definitely ugly duckings that became very beautiful swans! Amazing!!!!!!!

Hey Shawn,

Thanks for the photos. They are very inspiring! Now that we have the minimum koi pond requirements hashed out in another thread over the past week, I get to work on building something to house my fish for this contest!

I'm running out of time! I thrive under pressure!

Respectfully,

Well now I am more confused Back to the pic's.

wow....those pictures are very encouraging. They also reinforce my belief that picking the koi based on their bodies and shiro is best bet, with little regard to pattern or sumi at this point. I think I finally have them all sorted out.

[luke frisbee]

well I just got my pics reinforced
