In The Whole POND OF TOSAI There Were Like At Least 6 Of This High Priced Tosai. All 6 Of Them Were Sold By Eastern For The Show. Guess What Come Show Day They All Got Beaten By A $25.00 Koi FOR BABY Grand Champion. Tag Price Does'nt Count On Show Date. What Matters Is Which One Is The Best Koi On That Day. Congratulations To You. Now You Are Certified Ringer Buyer . By The Way My First Gc Came From Eastern. A Ginrin Showa Bred By Shinoda. Have A Good Day.

well I bet the guy with the $25 koi would have gladly swapped with any of ya ...yours have got a future.... uh huh


but now I disagree with something you said, you said the best koi on that day wins...i always say, it was the judges' opinion that it was the best koi on that day...
even when a koi i put in the show wins I say to myself, the judges thought this fish was better'n that that fish....i don't believe one person can pick a fish better'n another once they understand a few basic things...there is too much wiggle room in the judging criteria to state a fish is "BEST"
