| Hi Al On 1 December 2008 i spawned my 66cm Torazo female kohaku with 1 Torazo male and 1 Dainichi male. The Torazo female was purchased from Cape Koi Aquarium and aswell as the Torazo male. The dainichi kohaku was purchased from Platinum koi. This was my first atttempt to spawn and i think everything went off very well. The majority of the spawning turned out to full red with a few exceptions, i think that is because the parent koi was mostly full pattern. there are some Tancho's and very few patterned kohaku. Here are some of the big ones measuring 16cm.   Sien Bobby, hulle swem reg.  |

| Is the photo taken just after you feed them? |

Hi Wayne,
If the photo is taken just after feeding than i assume this is not their true body shape.

Hi Wayne,
This kohaku is not that bad, i guess when the koi grow bigger the pattern will look better.
To get better pattern you need to cull those all red and all white ones in a early stage. Because those all red and all white ones will grow faster and eat the one with better pattern.
regards,
SAS |

| Heres a updated picture of my home bred kohaku. Image is unaltered. The kohaku is now 1yr 3 months old (You can see it in the first photo above) - thats from when it was spawned as an egg till now. Its currently 46cm long...i think that is not bad for a home bred. What do you think?  |
