Annual measure up
Had a few of my Kohaku out today for their annual measure so thought I would share. Nothing of show quality but great fun watching them develop.

They all look great but particularly number 1- lovely pattern and lustre. I am a big Takigawa Kohaku fan and that fish is just lovely

You never get exactly what you want... That's Koi keeping. One thing about Takigawa koi is that they may not grow as quickly at fish from other Southern breeders but do continue to grow and develop over a good few years, patience is at a premium with them
Weak beni? are you talking thickness(depth) or colour?

To an extent it may come with time as the beni thickens when it stops being stretched by growth but some lines have different types of beni colours from others so to a large degree the die is already cast. In cooler water you may see a change.
I have found that 3 / 4 weeks on colour feed can have an impact although it can muddy the whites... so its a dual edge sword.
Crazy hobby!!
