very sorry,once i am intoxicated,i tends to ask many quest. and extremely chatty...

It is illegal to import Koi into Japan, once they've gone they've gone.

The Koi which featured highly at the Asia Koi Cup had all had their day in Japan as far as shows were concerned. Please don't read that as they were past their best. Tepsits Sanke was my tip for All Japan GC in 2008!

I suppose u are back in UK now? Thanks so much for sharing your insights abt Torazo. I was kinda waiting for you to help me out here, cos Torazo is by far my favourite breeder and I have had good results raising 3 pieces of his nisai from last season, and this season, i added 2 more.

Interesting u mentioned "tora" stripes, cos i think one of my sanke has those traditional old school sanke look. I've not posted it here cos it aint so pretty...

Sitting in Narita Airport as I type, 12 hours in a tin can with wings lie ahead.

Gd morning,

Tks for yr highlight,i did not know that they cant go vack home after they left.I was thinking that Kois out for local or other competitions ealse where round the globe can be brought back to Japan to continue their grooming.
