      New Taniguchi Azukuri

      Good to see how each koi develop. All purchase on recent Japan trip in October 2016. Left at breeder over winter. There is no mud pond time. Only spend winter indoor facility at Taniguchi.





      Yes even had time to take a few swing at Taniguchi golf cage.

      Wow, picking them so young I would not even know what to look for. You did well though!

      Great job! I love the beni development on the last kohaku.
      I wonder if that was a failed attempt at cosmetically engineering a maruten kohaku.

      its just my guess, but I think its just really strong persimmon beni. If you look at the individual scales on the two small steps from 12/17 to 4/17 you can see it filled in there as well.

      I have a fish spending the summer at that farm and this makes me even more excited to see her in the fall.

      For possible educational purposes, I'd like to point out the development of the Tancho Sanke and the Sanke. If you look at the amount of underlying sumi in the two pics date 10/16 and 12/16 versus the large/latest pic, you can see how much of that underlying sumi has been covered, and most likely will never appear/surface. This is usually due to the thickening of the epidermal layers of skin that are white based color and displays more clearly as it develops. So, for those that have been told to "hope" for sumi, when it is underlying like this, you get a better idea of what Sanke Sumi can do. Showas can be a bit different, but in many cases, similar to this. So, watch your fish this year as they develop from tosai to Nisai and see how your specific fish develop. It will help you with purchases in the future.

      I picked it it thought only of step lol. But thickening beni could be a good sign of strong beni?

      I did have one fish stay there last summer and this coming up summer as well because Mr. Taniguchi suggested it.

      I like your assessment as both of the Sanke (last year pick 2015 and this year pick 2016) clean up pretty well in the sumi department.
