    Thanx for all your comments I saw it on ebay a few days ago but as it was pick up in Somerset it was a little far for me to travel, then out of the blue one of my koi mates said he had bought a chagoi off a bloke and he had a Shiro for sale,my mate remembered me saying I was looking for one and it turned out this koi he was buying was also the guy selling the Shiro, he went down and picked both of them up for us a little luck and good timing

    Regards
    Steve

    I try to get all of them to feed out my hand but that's easier said than done!! however the new one did come within an inch of my hand today, and considering I only just got it, I thought that was pretty good especially as it is only a Tosai I hope its more tame than feisty!!

    Very nice,my last shiri has one red eye but it's not a pretty fish just plain,poor thing!

    Trouble with Shiro's or any Utsuri they can change so much in pattern, body shape, and colour, when bought small, and its a gamble, you can minimise that risk if you know the bloodline and parent stock, but for most of us that's not the easiest thing to find out, this was such little money I thought it was worth the risk.

    Regards
