Herewith a few of Collin Hunt's fish that he bought from me. More to follow.

Still pursuading him to enter the Western Cape Koi show, 2010. I believe he will walk away with a quite a few prices.

For a new hobbyist, not too shabby. What do you think?

Die kwaliteit lyk baie goed, hulle is net so bietjie aan die maaar kant maar hul sal vinning dik gevoer word. Defnetief so paar wenners daar.

Ek self soek 'n goeie, baie goeie wagoi ginrin goshiki tosai. - Hou maar 'n oog oop vir my asb.

Very nice selection for a beginner - good variety too. Keep us posted on their development. I'd like to see some good quality tosai supplied by the local dealers go beyond the 70cm mark while maintaining their quality. I'm working on a few Gin ochibas I got from Paul and would like to see If I can get one of them to go over 70cm in the next 2 years. I got 3 and it seems that two will make it to my big pond this summer.

Wow!, absolutely stunning koi Collin. You clearly like Doits koi. I like the first one the most.

Hi,

Very good pond fish, but IMHO not Champion quality!

Nice pond fish, good start - not show quality for the most part - good luck Collin

Hi Collin
I see you are now a forum member, welcome
To show you how welcome, how about a pond Safari Sunday

We are looking for a pond or two so anyone available please contact the WCKC

Thanks Bobby, I have sent hours going though all the views and topics and find them very interesting. I have only just received this mail, so I hope the safari is next Sunday?

Hi Bobby,
Please excuse the spelling mistakes, in such a hurry to start the fire that I only saw the mistakes after posting.
Cheers

Hi Collin this is not a spelling contest, if it were I would have been the first to get the boot.
I have given your info to Wayne and it will be appreciated should you allow us a visit soon.

Hi Colin,

MMMMM the nice pond fish did well at the show hey.

Cant blame anyone they cange all the time, sometimes better and sometimes worse.

Now you will also be a poor man for ever all your money will go to koi.

Yes Neville, I must say it suprised me too, really did not expect all these awards and yes you are right I have already spent so much and it is so difficult to stop yourself.

I have to thank my friend Paul Viljoen for selling me such great fish and for all his assistance and thank you Paul for convincing me to show my fish and your help with catching, baging and transport to the show. Thanks Paul.

Hi,

Onthou 'n wenner is so goed soos sy teenstanders!

And Collin, I never said they were pond quality !!!

Hey Colin - I think you should have put the real beauts up from the start - where is the Show and the Kimonryu?

Hi Quinton, look under Western Cape Chapter.

Great pleasure Colin. Your long list of awards look impressive!

Yes Paul well done getting Colin to partake.

If a winner is only as good as its opponents well then it must win.

Fish that don't go to the show cannot win.

Well done again
