Ok guys n girls.

its now September and were due the photo's for our first update.

i know some of these koi have done well at the shows through the summer and these will change very quickly so its important that we get as many of them as we can photographed, to ease identification.

just send me your pic or add it to this thread with the koi's number. but please do not disclose its size yet as its always a nice surprise at the end to see whose has grow the largest.

Now i know Unfortunately we lost Ed's shiro but if any others have passed away please let me know of its number too.

many thanks and get out there and get snapping:D

come on then lets get some more of these shiro's coming in. remember the next update will be in January and i anticipate that being poorly attended, so let see if we can get a good response on this. remember this is only a grow and show if we all take part in it.

ok i finally got my camera charged up and ready to roll so here is my little shiro. i must say shes is doing quite well!

pondy

29-09-2011, 08:14 PM

oh ok, there aint no fooling you guys here she is. she has been set back the last few weeks as she's had white spot but all seems ok now. the sumi has seemed to retract a bit but i think thats maybe due to the heat in the pond at the moment.

pondy

29-09-2011, 08:19 PM

Great to hear from you Dave, keep at it pal..

Mark; As I said at day1 you have a real cracker there, all you need to do is get it to XXcm by June.. And yes the Sumi will get a load deeper but theres no rush with that.:D

Dave

ok great, the fish really is growing ok i believe but then we dont all know how the others are growing lol. being in 22c in my shed growing on allover the winter it really should do well.
