      Yamaju has a male doitsu parent to die for. He is now 4 years old and 68 cm with a female body and not the typical doitsu like shape. More like gosanke male. The skin was out of this world . I was in love when I saw him . I had to have his babies. So me and 2 friends shared a box!

      The lighting in the basement sucks and the water was off but with a little imagination you can see the quality and the power of the bodies of this doitsu ochibas Midorigoi.

      Very impressive! Wish my pond was as nice as your basement! Do you have anything down there now or all out in the ponds?

      Rain has a koi named after him.



      They look great, John. I always enjoy seeing what you're working on in the ultra batcave for koi.

      Still learning as I go but y'all can call me Marilyn

      Many koi still calling the basement home. I moved about 35 koi to the ponds outside but they are many more than that still in the basement.

      Bummer, I guess Mr. rainblood doesn't get to have it.

      It's curious that 2 sibling Shusui raised in the same environment with the same food with one coming out relatively clean and they other dirty. So they only other variable was sex then?

      The sex played a little role in my opinion. It is just the fish. The male was a shooting star that burned very bright and very fast while the other was undeveloped with gray escalation instead of very nice defined and the black is coming in slowly . There were indications that Rainblood was in an exaggerated finishing even as I put him in the pond. His head had a strong black under the skin showing.when couple of weeks earlier it was completely white. You can see that on the original video on the first post.

      Oh if he wants him he can still have him but it is not what he should have . He is a nice guy and deserves better I think.
