In the spirit of keeping everyone informed I got my first choice which was C from the above choices. Seeing as I was something like 11th or 12th out of the hat and still getting my first choice makes me wonder how good my selection was TBH LOL!!

I thought B was head and shoulders above the others, but I put R as first choice cause of the unusual pattern. Finished up with third choice “O” as I really liked the shape, chunky monkey. Just need some water now

Here’s my Showa ..... fantastic service by Gaz and Norton at Aurora Koi. A true example of what perfect customer service should look like. Thanks both so much. Let’s enjoy the event...

That's a cracking fish you have there - that was my 2nd choice.
The Sumi is so well developed for such a young fish and the sumi in the root of the fins is very well defined too - should develop into a stunner.

What I've realised so far from this competition, is it's really hard to take a photo of the fish without getting a reflection on the waters surface.

Mine is skulking on the bottom, or saving his energy for a growth spurt as I chose to see it

I haven't seen much of mine either. Although my wife did see it bravely going for a lone pellet this afternoon and it got butted out the way by a 67cm Ogon. My wife actually thought the Ogon had eaten it. Lol. Still, I give the Showa 10/10 for trying.
I didn't really think too much about their size, as ive not bought Tosai before. But with hindsight I wish I'd set up a grow on tank to give it a better chance of getting to the food. No chance of netting it now. Not unless I drain my pond lol.

Mine races to the top when it sees the others coming up. He’s a bit skittish and seems to only want the pellet others are going for! I’m fortunate that all my koi are young so it’s not the smallest fish in the pond.
