Awesome Kohaku Cliff ! Look at that PHAT tail and a mouth that scream FEED ME! I Like the pattern on this one a lot. Sharp kiwa, good sashi and very nice skin from what I can see from the photo. Once again a very good body for such a small fish. Very Happy

Very good looking Kohaku. Its body tell me that is not going to get big but it has the qualities where it matters. I expect a big bodied round koi at 50cm with this one.

I just want to share my opinion.

This is just a "pattern fish".

I don't think this is a good body shape for a tosai.

And it looks like male to me from the photos.

phew...interesting comments!

I was in a hurry to take pics as wanted to get them settled in ASAP

I will be taking pics in a few months again, rather to see how progress is then and will repost.

This fish has a commanding presence for a small fish.

I am hearing it's going to be a big fish from one person then a small fish from another.....rather going to leave this one till December now and post then....thanks again

There is a difference between big meaning length wise and big bodied. I am with sas on this one. It is not a bad quality fish, actually very good looking but i think that it is going to balloon. Let see in a few months. Genetics can be a bi#@h...like i have a genetic trade that i inherited to have a nice round body...not much i can do about it. Very Happy

I don't agree with you guys, Wayne as you say Genetics plays a big part, I have kept back fish from the same parents as this fish ,with the same big body, and they have all turned out very big fish with stunning bodies. if I remember correctely Quintons first kohaku he got from me had the same body and parents, and what did it do , it grew like hell [ 20+cms ] in 6 months [over winter] plus won grand champ at the Cape baby koi show. So let's wait and see what happens.

IF it turns out like a rugby ball Embarassed Embarassed I will organize Cliff 20 "FREE" lapdances afro afro afro lol! lol! lol! lol! affraid affraid

Hi Wayne and sas.
You guys obviously don't know the Sakuma bloodline.... or maybe you were just cross with some one when you judged Cliff's fish... lol! lol!

Well, that is my opinion at this point in time... Opinion asked, opinion given. I was not negative about Cliffs fish, i highlighted the good and the bad.

If one asks for opinions about a fish, you have to accept that 1) You asked for it 2) The comments might not all be good 3) the evaluation happen from a photo so its not going to be 100% accurate and 4) Its just peoples opinions in the end.

The only opinion that counts in the end is your own.

Wayne, I enjoy your feedback and comments.....as well as anyone elses

I know it is difficult to judge a fish from a photo, I am sure if I posted a video it would be a different story.

Like a said, all comments welcome.....this is how we learn.

When I post progress pics in a few months we will have a better idea then

All said their parts. All I have to say is that this is one of the best kohaku's I've seen in a LONG LONG time.

Given the proper care & water this one will reach 70cm in no more than 2 years. If it keeps that quality it'll be a champion.

A total side track to this topic but do you know how tricky it is to get a tosai to 60cm in good condition in a concrete pond. 60-70cm Is also not easy and i think the show entries proof that. So we generally say that a koi will look x and y at 70cm but most never reach that. If a koi bought as tosai reach 60cm and it still has good condition then that is a achievement in itself. I have a Asagi that is now hitting 80cm this year that i bought at 15cm in 2006. It has taken 6 years to get it to 80cm. Almost lost it on 2008 due to a single ulcer on its abdomen that i never saw. It was 4cm in diameter and at least 1cm deep.
