Hi. Just registered today. I,m new at the hobby-only started October 2010. Please rate this 30cm kohaku for me. Worth to keep? I am still in my babyshoes with my collection,but eager to learn. Thank you for the opportunity to communicate with other koi-enthusiasts.

Hi Phillip, Welcome
I think he or she is beautiful, but I'm also new at this.
Enjoy
Tim

Tim. Thank you for your reply,I appreciate. Yes,we still have a long way to go in obtaining knowledge and experience. I try to read as much as possible,and it's helpfull if you have a trustworthy koifriend you can call when needed. Can't wait for summer-had enough of -5 degrees. Stay well.

Hi Phillip

Welcome to the forum.

I think you have a very nice Kohaku there. Very appealing and interesting pattern and your shiroji (white background) looks very good and the hi appears to be stable.

A bit finished, meaning that the colors are already very bright and not a lot of development to come and lack of Shasi, which indicates, together with the body shape that it is a male. From a show point of view, that is not good, but still very attractive.

Size and breeder?

Dagsê Paul.
Baie dankie vir jou kommentaar-dit is vir my 'n 'moraalbooster' om te hoor dat ek darem op die regte spoor was met my keuse. Ervaring sal maar met die tyd kom. Ek sal die naweek 'n blou badjie mates gee sodat ek akkuraat kan meet. Die koi ongeveer 30cm-die foto in dam geneem. Teler van Bloemfontein,by name Frans(jammer,sy van nou vergeet)
Groete Philip
