Default Two for a Tenner

Hello all hav`nt been on for a while. I took my covers off yesterday. All the Koi look great. I cant believe how much they have all grown and developed. I managed to bowl up my brace of Goromos that I managed to buy for a TENNER at the end of the day at the Essex Section Show back in the summer. They were 4 to 5 inches then and are now 8 to 9 inches.Â* I think I did well for my haggeling skills. The Sumi Goromo has got along way to go yet butÂ* You can just make out the Hi to the edge of his Sumi. His side and belly are as white as snow and the photos dont do either of them justice. Let me know what you think

Thanks for your coments Brett. Over the last month this fish has come on leaps and bounds his Hi is really bleeding through on top of His Sumi. I think this will be one of my best Koi in a year or two. I will post some more pictures towards the end of the summer so you can see how He is comeing along.
