| Very good growth considering the stock density. Suppose you used quite a lot of live food, eg daphnia etc. How many times did you cull so far. Kujaku, Ogon, Hariwake spawning? |

| Sorry I should have mentioned they are grown in a mudpond in my yard, I have two mudponds at home and I live in town. Talk about koikichi They were from a Hariwaki Kujaku spawn |

| Jaco, your kois are stunning - the local bred kois from ammateur breeders in the cape does not come close to that. |
