Our first koi purchase ever.
Good evening,
Went to the koi show yesterday and today at Detling Showground, met quite a few people in the industry from pond builders, breeders to equipment suppliers, it was a great opportunity to view fish at leisure both fish for sale and some super show fish, some koi were simply amazing, my favourite show fish was in the Koromo class size 4 I believe it was a Goshiki with 4 steps of incredible hi and it looked so smooth with bright metallic scale pattern, it really caught my eye, some one must be a very proud owner....
I was there yesterday with my brother aka "pootkoi" where I behaved myself and purchased nothing, I returned today with my wife who has the koi bug as bad as I do and between us towards the end of the show we jumped in and purchased our first ever koi, my wife opted for a lovely looking 13" Maruten Kohaku and I opted for a 7" Kohaku which at the moment looks quite stripy with diagonal high on his head, probably not one for the purist but it caught my eye...we also purchased some Japanese tablets denoting the four elements ready for our pergola - well we hope that's what it translates too lol !!! thanks Steve.

Unfortunately the fish were transferred into my brothers pond before we had time to take pictures, they had been at the show in a small round pool and we were worried about stressing them even more so sadly no pictures as of yet, we will put some up when we collect them.... cheers Steve.
