Who was the first person to import quality koi into South Africa? And when did this occur?

I will sponsor a 2kg bag of Shogun Koi Nutrition to the first person who gets the questions right.

I often heard people saying that buying small koi of 10 to 15cm is not wise, because the pattern and colour of koi at this size can change easily as they grow. And they say you can’t tell much detail on a small koi. Therefore, most hobbyists will pay few thousand rand to buy a bigger koi (20 to 40cm) which you can tell more detail of the koi.

Place the koi in a larger tank or small pond and it will reach six to ten inches. Put it in a large pond and it may get as long as a foot and a half. However, when place in a huge lake where it can really stretch out, it has the potential to reach sizes up to three feet.
