not sure on the size till i get it home but its around 45 to 50cm, as for the price mmmmmmmmm i have never ever paid this amount for a fish. was £695 but as its a sale this weekend at avenue fisheries i got it for £575. its a stunning fish and i the choice to pick between 5 of the them. my partner just loves the head markings.

Hi Mark. I'm certainly no expert when it comes to knowing a good fish from an average fish, but to my untrained eye, that Kojaku looks a real stunner. Indeed, all those fish look good to me :)

Cheers...Freddy.

kaneko , does do some pukka shiros , he uses omosako stock , so omosako , without the price tag ;)

if you want exceptional , shiros , always keep an eye on oofuchi , as his high end shiros are small on the percentage rate , but ive seen a few that make omosako's best look shite :cool:

i must admit that the pond did come together very quick from the first time i started digging to now. i never thought i would have got this far and with some great stunning fish already. dont think it would be a good idea to ask for a koi for xmas do you lol

All i can say is the other bidders shot themselves in the foot big time and not realised how much they'll be worth next year ...or just being greedy thinking they'll get em cheap ...well YOU DID lol;) in the words of mark "GET IN"

well debbie went to pick them up and nothing was said apart from he was shocked they went so low. debbie said the fish in his pond was like being in japan with 70 80 90cm fish. he had a 11500 gallon pond heated and fish was feed every 2 hours with atuo feeder. when i got home from work debbi had just got home and i unbagged the fish and to say my face light up was awesome.
