Thanks Sangreaal for your curiousity...

Johnny 5 is eating three fat meals a day. Johnny 5 is truly a pig!!!! The only concern for me here in MI is that WINTER JUST WILL NOT QUIT!!!!!

It seems most people feel the same as I do regarding grow out develpoment.....YES, A VERY PLEASANT SUPRISE IS GROWING WITH ME TOO!

I truly believe Johnny 5 has some REALLY ATTRACTIVE features which are begining to blossom....

Those of you who liked Johnny 5 when we were doing the "DRAFT PICK" will be PLEASED with it's develpoment .

Next week I will post some pics, perhaps even tomorrow if time allows......

It's this damn global warming I tell ya! Record snow/icepack densities in both the North and South poles, Greenland Ice pack back to normal, global temperatures dropped 1 deg in ONE year (completely offsetting the 1 deg rise over the last CENTURY!), Snow in Baghdad of all places,
and Sicily had a huge snow storm in the middle of the freaking Mediterranean for god's sake... Maybe it'll be warm enough by July

OK. Finished making fun of ALGORE. Waiting for new pics with Marie

Is that all the pic's you got?

That's a good looking fish, nice pattern.

For now those are just about all of them....Except for the ones that have bad light......In a about a month Johnny 5 will go back into the tub for more pics.......Should be fun to see how Johnny 5 grows in the main pond....Although it seems like it's going to be a cool summer here in MI...

Prediction for the next month......This koi will begin to bridge the gaps with the uderlying sumi area in the shoulder. The head has developed the sumi pattern I expected to see. The mid section to the tail will also begin to develop more sumi. This koi could be an early finisher. What I am wishing for is a strong ink black to develop over the koi. Which is possible as I will create conditions which could encourage this potential...This koi will certainly be rich with sumi........Praying to the koi Gods may also help....
