Mystic/Bito/Omosako grow-out form

Below is the template we will be using for the grow out. We have a chance to catalog the years growth of 150 koi. So in red will be the mandatory items. The rest doesn't have to be filled out but as a study on the effects of these shiro utsuris you might want to so everyone can see if the feeding habits, pond type etc make a difference.

Please make your own thread here in the grow-out forum and copy in the form.

Koi sizes should be in inches.
Pond sizes in feet and US gallons

Here's a map of the U.S.D.A. growing zone for those that don't know what zone you're in but don't ask me if you don't know what state you're in:

Powerman & koiluv, I think you 2 need to start your own threads in the grow out forum & not in this thread.

Start one here:

There sure is a lot of interest in this grow out! The koi have not yet been selected so obviously no one has any real information in their threads yet, except maybe a few that have posted their pond information. But for the most part the individual threads are blank templates. And still there are a bunch of views (>50 in some cases)... guess people are sizing up the competition. Heh-heh.

Almost Christamas!! Almost time to pick my koi!

- Wayne, sizing up the competition.
