@MyHattisBlue At such huge sizes, those are very very minor points. This shiro won 1st prize at 75BU at the All Japan Show, and a year later won 2nd prize at 80BU at the same show when she was only 76cm.
WOW!!! Great shiro!!! The white is really snow-like!! How is your water?? Is it on the soft side?? I've heard that shiro utsuri look better in certain type of water...
so you purchased her after her first place :o (must have cost quite a bundle lol, but eitherway its still an honour to be able to watch such a beauty on daily basis)
what an honour to get a first prize on all japan koi show on that size :o (one of my dreams too :p) and top prizes on malaysian koishow too, here in belgium and in the netherlands your shiro would fall into prizes as well
Hi Steven, in our tropical weather it's kind of hard to achieve the same head whiteness you see in temperate climates. I am feeding about 20% colour food now, but even when I wasn't, its head was yellowish.
You sir are a genius! How many do you have? Such a beautiful specimen.

why is that? becuz of water parameters, solar influences,... ?
btw I know this koi has played in all japan show before, what were the results of this shiro?
