Nice. Pinch the airstone though when you take pics haha
I dropped the Gin Rin Chagoi (Diamond Girl) on Friday when I was putting Her in the transport tank . I had Her in a 60 inch heavy duty bag like the Japanese breeders do , and I stood up on the tailgate of My truck to lift Her into the tank. She broke through the seam of the bag and landed on the concrete head first from about 6 ft in the air . There was blood everywhere , and She and I were slipping in it. Try picking up a bleeding slippery 36’’ fish. I decided to take Her to the show so that I could care for Her if needed , because I didn’t want Her to be at home alone while I was at the show. She wasn’t swimming much on Friday , but by Saturday , She was doing much better . I didn’t sleep at all Friday night worrying about Her . She’s home now , so I hope She’ll be OK .
Can somebody post the Show Results?

Hi All,
Our great member Catfish Whiskers (Jeff) won the following prizes:
A. Gin Rin Chagoi (90+ cm): Non GoSanke Champion
B. Sanke (65-75 cm): Mature Champion
C. Kohaku (Over 75 cm): Best in Size 8
D. Sanke (65-75 cm): Best in Size 7
Two (2) of the above Kois were raised by him from Tosai (7" to 9") to their current sizes (Chagoi 90+ cm) and Kohaku (over 75 cm), which is an outstanding accomplishment and shows his dedication and knowledge in keeping koi or as most of us know (keeping water quality). I want to take this time congratulate him not only on his accomplishments but also his husbandry skills, his passion for the hobby and willingness to help others in this hobby.
Thank you Jeff for all the help you have given us and continue to give us. One can only dream of taking a small tosai and growing it to these massive sizes while maintaining the body and quality. I personally hope achieve the same one day !!
Admin: Could you guys please straighten out the pics. Thanks.
Wow look how deep the red is on that kohaku on third photo.
