Sorry I posted to the wrong place earlier...so I removed the message
We put our's in the mud pond after qt..Our mud pond is small but lightly stocked.About 165k with 9 large girls and 4 gowouts.Our sanke went in at 9 3/4 inch on june 6th and We checked a few weeks ago with a random pull and it measured 15 inch in 12 weeks growth..We are so pleased with this...
Bottom of the rung in group D draft. With a few folks assisting via pm, I chose #3
Where we first met (A-7 in the draft), and upon arrival here at home.
Winter growth was close to 5"
I got my random Sanke selection Wednesday morning along with a few box buddies. Everybody is healthy and not too shocked from the trip. Sorry for the delay, I just forgot to post here. I'm actually very happy with the quality and pattern on this one. Size is around 7" and should plump up before...
I didn't post a picture right away because the one picture I took was terrible. It was just not a priority to take pictures. The fish were tired from their trip and I didn't take the time to photograph them carefully. Now one month later I got a fairly decent shot. On arrival (terrible...
Why did I pick this fish? Well, I would have preferred a couple of the others. However, of the ones that were left, from what I could tell, it looked like it had a decent hi pattern , minimal sumi as well as nice shiro. I really could not tell much from the pic, so I am hoping for the best.
I had 2 lost one of them
here is my pick of the sanke.it was random pic.about 8 1/2 inches. wife took pic and do not know if she knew they were being posted.
There is my random pick Sanke. A little under seven inches. Male (I think)

They came today. This is gonna be fun!
Will post form next week. Good luck Peps.
Matt Flury's Sanke. Received Size = 8.5"
I thought we should give equal time to the sanke. :D:
Just got both mine and Gordon Parr's. I'll post pictures later 'cause Gordon gets first pick on the shiros (I got it on the chagois). Here's where I'm starting from with my Q: Bill OTMS's SU/Sanke Growout -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ...
Here are my 2 sankes. Both were around 6 1/2". I have them in a 300 gallon stock tank with 2 55 gallon barrels for filtration and a dolphin 150 air pump stirring up 2 sq ft of k1 in one of the barrels and air lifting ~800 gph. I have 2 su's with them too. They are all doing great!
Next to last pick in Sanke Draft Group D.
My growout sanke.
Both these guys (I'm pretty sure one is a girl:-) are now acclimated and eating great. One was draft and the other a free agent signing (picked after draft was com,plete from "leftovers") Very pleased. Thanks Matt.
Our two Shintaro Sankes arrived this morning are now doing well in QT. We'll take individual pics of these guys and measure before moving them to our growout pond. Based on my measuring tape eyes, I'd say these beauties measure somewhere between 8" and 10" in size...
We received our new babies today. They look good, but need a lot of growing.:yes: They came in with minimum amounts of stress.:cheer: Thanks Matt.:clap: The sanke to the right of the first picture is 8.5 inches. Also shown in second pic. The shiro to the right and below is 6 inches.
They arrived today and are in QT! Man it was a small box, but they looked good. Here are the pics. I like the skin on both. Both around 7 inches.
I picked number 5 from the first picture, and number 8 from the second picture! I like them :yes: I'll make sure to get some good pictures when I get them!
Here are my grow out Sanke, I was only supposed to get one but there was a mix up, they are settling in and look good.
I got a call last evening from Matt. It seems they were unable to locate my E-10 draft pick. He asked if I had any preferences for a replacement. I said, "Sure, send me the one that will be GC in 5 years." :D: (I bet he hears that a lot):yes: They arrived today. :yahoo: I'm...
I really just wanted the nice Shintaro Sanke at a great price and do not care to compete especially since the pond is not done and they may be in the 300 gallon QT quite a while;) But I will share updates anyhoo.:yes: Sorry not great pictures:rolleyes:
more i look, more i like! off to the mud pond! :yahoo:
I was asked to make a Sticky with the information to pay Matt directly for shipping of the SU and Sanke. Those of you in Draft, Ryan has pictures and that process will begin soon. For those with all random Matt has already started shipping as long as you have paid. Here is his Paypal...

I have some great news about the Shiro Utsuri, Shintaro has picked up 300 of them that he has personally selected for growing on. He will keep them in his tanks until we ship them for the growout here. What that means the koi will probably put on some size in his great water conditions. I am...
