Thread: Grand Champion Interkoi Show Rheinberg 2011 (germany)

Yes, they have done it again! Once unknown as ordinairy hobbyists they had won the 2010 Grand Champion title, and now they do it again! Grand Champion at the 2010 Interkoi with Cleopatra II and later in the year they won Grand Champion award at the National Koi and Pond Days in Appeltern with Geisha II. What a dream scenario, three times Grand Champion in just over one year time! This Sanke, bred by Sakai Fish Farm (SFF), is 85 centimeters long and gosai (in its fifth year of life). In October 2008, this graceful Sanke was purchased by ’t Viske the SFF auction. At that moment she was 71 centimeters long as a sansai. The oyagoi of this fish is the famous SFF Sanke parent Koi named Hiryu.

hello laz, great work mate, hope your and family are well (sorry for posting here )

nice fish but i thought for a great sanke you first needed a great kohaku pattern and this one wouldnt quite make that imo, the kohaku pattern is very good but not amazing.
Can a pro please explain, i know im wrong because you dont become grand champ wrongly bypassing many expert judges along the way, so what am i missing ?
