[jckoi]

# 23 pick#132

Wait...
"Growup form"?

[luke frisbee]

and your second pick looks to be far superior to the first

[jckoi]

compare #20 and #132
they are different kind of koi,
I will like to see the develop between them,
I think the conformation are similar, but the sumi are different,
#20 sumi may take a lot long time to come up , or it may never come up
I think it is female, but time will tell.
and #132 will develop fast and it looks like male,this will be in the contest to complete.
what do you guys think?

there are the pictures,

I liked your choices a lot. I'm guessing both female. Keep posting!

JC I rated your first fish, #20, 18TH on my list. I’m a sucker for fish with underlining sumi. This one has it in all the right places. My thinking is that the Shiroji is so strong the sumi gets hidden until it strengthens with age. Smaller fish and not in the possible female group kept this fish out of the top ten for me.

water change cause fish died....
bad news,
this is only one I have now.
It was too late when I find out why the water went so slow.
the other one went to 1.5' pipe which connect to the bottom drain and get stick with another 5"fish..(when I perform My water change).
He/She is gone.
