| Hi all, With the show dates scheduled for September 2012, three months have a tendency to fly by so quickly. For those that are looking to purchase show quality Tosai up to 45cm come and see the exceptional quality of the Koi purchased on my recent trip to Japan that are available. Kohaku, Sanke, Showa, Kujaku, Goshiki, Gin Goshiki, Gin Showa Shiro Utsuri Ochiba Shigure, Asagi, Yellow Ogon, Karashigoi and others. Below is one of Pongoi Koi Jumbo Tosai that took the Gauteng Baby Koi Show 2011 Reserve Grand Champion, coming from size 3 to beat all contenders. At this year’s 2012 National Koi Show at 42cm it took Supreme size 4 its quality just gets better.Look forward to seeing you and showing you this year’s contenders... Regards James |

| Hello Kobus, Thank you for your comments, the Showa is from Isa Koi Farm in Niigata and is now 2 years old and male. Below is a picture of it as a jumbo tosai at 31cm November 2010, no one wanted to buy it? The Koi is now an Oyagoi, to be used for breeding. The above pictures are the latest taken two weeks ago the Koi is now in a mud pond until August, when harvested it will be made ready for the Baby Koi Show and breeding. On my web site http://pongoikoi.blogspot.com/ under breeding although still young you can see him in action, the spawning hatching results were good,. Look out for his twin, same size it will make its first debut at the Baby Koi show my opinion it is better!!! Picture taken at March 2011 Regards James

| Hi Joe, Sorry, I sexed it as a male last year but it was a spectator in the event most of the time so I am not sure, will see when it comes out of the mud pond, it has a good body if it is a male that’s why I keep thinking its female!!! With young fish sometimes I get it wrong, I am hoping thats the case here? |

Hi Kobus, How is your English at school!!! My Africans gets worse as your sentences get bigger? For 4 months in the hobby you seem to have a good eye of quality, sorry you had so many losses you need to understand why they died, fix it and move on. You are more than welcome to pop in any time, we can talk about your pond and losses, please phone to confirm an appointment, hopefully we can meet at the Baby Koi show as well. If you have any concerns with the hobby please e-mail if I can help you I will, it’s good to hear off young people coming into the hobby. regards James |

| its at the brightwater commons and last year was on the weekend of the 18th September and will be around that same date this year.
Was very successful last year with over 250 fish entered over just the 4 sizes.
Competition at these baby shows is fear in size 1 - 2......3 - 4 also but not as much.
It is a lot of fun tho! |

It is a lot of fun tho! Thanks Cliff, Yes competition at this show makes it one of the toughest shows in the country, the quality is very high. With all the superb Koi on show at the National in theses sizes combined with what is coming out of Quarantine from the dealers I think this show will be very difficult, showing the best of the best!!! Ps This is another Koi no one liked as a tosai, picture taken in November 2011 +_ 26cm you should see it now? Contender size 2 Still for sale Regards James |

| Hi Kobus, Quarantine finishes on Monday 11th June, and consisted of 30 days at 24 degrees and anti parasite treatments, and KHV tests. To date all are healthy and looking great, with the final KHV test going to Durban for confirmation tomorrow. I will be taking individual Koi photos over the next couple of days and will put them on the forum with the majority of them on my website, superb Goshiki, Gin Goshiki, Showa, Sanke, Tancho Goshiki, Yellow Ogon, Shiro Utsuri, Ai-goromo Ochiba Shigure Asagi, to name but a few of the varieties, all show potential and perhaps future champion material!!! Regards James |

| Hi Kobus & Neli. Sorry for the delay in responding, for some reason I don’t get notified when people respond to a post? Sorry I haven’t will try to get and update picture for you. All the tosai are still in the mud pond they have been neglected should have taken them out, but this shipment became priority? Regards James |
