Default Some of my Koi

These are some of my Koi (Well my dads!) my favourites being the outrageously beautiful gin rin ochiba and the showa!

I would love to get a better picture of them both as they are amazing fish, the colours are very vivid and the showa has deep red markings

Other faves are the massive grass carp which is king of the pond and swims like a torpedo, this fella is doing a great job on the blanket weed!

Lol! £50 ;D

The showa has got to be about roughly 20inch, weve had the fish for about 7 years I would guess, do you think its high grade or show grade?

I would guess the showa is a female but not too sure, the gin rin ochiba is also a very beautiful fish, I haven't seen one like it, I have seen a few ochibas but they are like chagoi with brown markings hence the autumn leaves japanese translation!

Is there a specific breeder that breeds the variety of ochiba I have?

Regards

Jamie

Blimey, I have seen the prices that are paid for showas and didn't realise the value was so high! what do you think the showa is worth?
