Growing this one out this year. I'll post a video next because I need to practice downloading and taking video before the trip to Japan this fall.

nice clean tosai beni kiko, hard to find quality specimens like this without breaking the bank. Its on my koi wish list .
Here's some pics taken today after two months in my growout tank. Fins are a little dirty and body looks short but let's see what the next 10 months has in store.
The "look" is going to keep changing for awhile. Body is somewhat typical of this variety when fed a lot.
