    New additions

    On Sunday we went to collect these two gorgeous things from one of our club members who is sadly closing his pond down.

    Tancho sanke - 69cm - from Ogata bought from chris masters.
    She weighed a ton!

    Sanke - female - shintaro 60cm.


    Both are settling in well.

    That last pic is brill. I like the fact it has different coloured eyes. I bought a young doitsu sanke last year with 1 red eye. A few black speckles have started showing through now but I'm thinking it still has a long way to go.

    Yes she has certainly got character.

    It’s amazing how much one fish can change over time. Shiros are one example.

    Beautifull koi Laura must have been a steal, i have a soft spot for a Sanke like the one you got with not too heavy markings,really nice fish and i am sure they look great in your lovely pond.

    Wow loving that Tancho.
    I'm not even going to ask what you paid for it but for that quality and size I'm thinking £1000+.

    I don’t think the photos of the Tancho give it justice to it’s size, it’s a bloody unit.
