OK, just a stab here. Main pond has 21 koi in it.

69-71% gosanke.

Others are: 1 matsukawabake, one heisi nishiki, one soragoi (leaving in Spring), one kin ki utsuri, one chagoi,and oh my gosh 1 long fin - cause I have had her for 12 years and cannot part with. I AM 'thinking about getting her adopted out, seriously'.- if Scott asks (well, she is a sanke)

2 domestic breeders - Nisei Koi Farm and TagKoi

Japanese breeders - Marudo, Isa, Kazuto, Sakai and SFF ...Wishing for more.

Here goes:
14 fish
4 kohukus
4 showas
2 sankes
2 gin rin ochibas
1 utusri
1 yamabuki
Now, I have two utsuris at a friends house and 1 kohaku at Eastern. I plan to sell 2 kohuku, 1 ochiba, 1 showa Wheres the math? I don' move fish often but this seems to be the time. Any one else in flux?

Ok, I want to play:

Currently have:
Showa - Otsuka
Showa - Brandwood
Kohaku - Brandwood
Sanke - Brandwood
Chagoi - Marusei
Lemon Hariwake - Yamazaki
2x Shiro Utsuri - Omosako

Have not arrived, either mud pond koi, or 2008 growout koi:
Kohaku - Quality/Nisei
2x Sanke - Shintaro
Shiro Utsuri - Shintaro
Shiro Utsuri - Kaneko
2x Shiro Utsuri - Omosako

Doing the math, including those that I have not received yet, I have 15 koi that are:
7 Gosanke = 47%
6 Shiro Utsuri = 40%
11 Japanese Import = 73%

Considering my goal when I started was to keep my pond lightly stocked with "mostly gosanke" I think I am failing at my goal, especially since my pond is not even complete at I am at about my stocking limit. While I like shiro utsuri a lot, 40% of any one variety seems excessively high, but ... errr... I was too tempted by the fun and learning of growout contests.

- Wayne, now just needs to complete his main pond so he has some place to grow them in less confined conditions.

Yeah, you might want to do that............

We have mostly gosanke. I would say about 65% of the herd is comprised of Sanke, Showa and Kohaku. I have several Shiro Utsuri and a few more coming in this winter. Can't resist a good shiro as most here already know. The rest are 1 Matsuba (which hubby just loves), 2 Kujaku, 1 buda goromo, 1 Ogon and I think a few others. I keep about 5 mutts inside which keeps the Q-tank and the larger holding tank filters cycled. Soon we'll be measuring and photographing so I'll know for sure then.
