xKoikeepers - Shiro Show and Grow On

[Davej]

Hi Guys

The Journey has begun.

With Pondy back at school, JP and I picked up a box of very sexy looking Shiros from the ARC at Heathrow last night.

A good crack, good company and a real sense of anticipation mixed with a little nervousness when you see the boxes being unloaded.

Got a chance to peek at a couple of the fish in the boxes, humm when you see a fish with its nose touching one end of a 1m box and its tail within a few cm of the other end you know that you are looking at something special, particularly when it’s a Kohaku!!

No more dreaming - Back to the Shiro;

All have travelled well, not too stressed and are now in a very well thought out and put together QT system. Class act JP..

Quality wise - all I can say is Wow; you will not be disappointed Guys!!

I would just like to say that this is not my picture it's "VeggieMans" but 6 of the koi are mine:D

[Gazfish]

Now thats greedy :)

[pondy]

well i went round jp's and took a few pic's of the koi in the QT and the QT itself.

the first lot are of john's Qt set up, i have to admit i love the bio secure shower curtain stopping the spillage and splashed going into his own system from the qt

[pondy]

now before i show you a couple of glipmses of the shiro, after the flight all the way from Japan, the babies did very well, in fact a couple of small splits to their pecs and one little darling thats got a bit of bag rub.
i tell you this and show you the pic, so as to keep you all in the loop and not to hide nothing from you.

[pondy]

apart from that really pleased with them, whites looking good and they seem very healthy. here's some glimpses of the shiro's in the vat.
