Hi bro,
Yes, body shape plays a part too. No, in the whole cull, the good ones are only 10% to 15% or maybe less. And not all the babies can grow into jumbo size.

Lol... start with a ogon, best is get a chagoi. Dun need see pattern and it will always be the leader to eat and grow very fat. I had seen 1m plus koi many years back at koi shows, but dun see now.

No doubt getting good bloodline koi is important. I will rather consider if I have the space to groom it. Koi are not like arowana etc, they really need a lot of space to develop well.

Not easy to be > 80 bu.

The goal post have shifted. Now 80 bu is the norm. Above 90 to 1m is the target. IMHO.
