Default xKoikeepers - Shiro Show and Grow On

Hi Guys

The Journey has begun.

With Pondy back at school, JP and I picked up a box of very sexy looking Shiros from the ARC at Heathrow last night.

A good crack, good company and a real sense of anticipation mixed with a little nervousness when you see the boxes being unloaded.

Got a chance to peek at a couple of the fish in the boxes, humm when you see a fish with its nose touching one end of a 1m box and its tail within a few cm of the other end you know that you are looking at something special, particularly when it’s a Kohaku!!

No more dreaming - Back to the Shiro;

All have travelled well, not too stressed and are now in a very well thought out and put together QT system. Class act JP..

Quality wise - all I can say is Wow; you will not be disappointed Guys!!

Dave
