FOR SALE - Maruyama Kohaku

Grand Champion Kamiya Kohaku

This sandan kohaku is probably the most famous collection of mine.Please read my blog written in 2007 about this Grand Champion Maruyama for more details.This kohaku is bred by Maruyama Koi Farm, Japan. It comes from Kagura + Kamiya bloodline. Kamiya is the name of a kohaku that won Grand Champion bred by Murata. That kohaku was named after the owner called Kamiya.

Maruyama cross bred the Grand Champion Kamiya kohaku with his own Kagura bloodline and the result is this excellent kohaku and it won Grand Champion in 2006 Wakagoi Show(Young Koi Show) at Sentul Park, Kuala Lumpur. The body shape of this fish is quite similar to the mother.

The actual fish is not as red as shown in the photo. However, the fish grown from 63cm in 2006 September when it received the Grand Champion title to about 73cm in March 2008. It has grown 12 cm in about 18 months which is considered fast for fishes of this size and age. Once the fish touches 60cm, the growth rate usually slows down. Due to its pretty fast growing nature, the hi plate quality dropped and it didn't win any prize for 75BU kohaku category. This is a lesson learnt from the Malaysia 2008 koi show. However, I have the confidence of bringing back the quality of the red within a year and prepare it for the next koi show. This is a fish to watch out for the next koi show if nothing goes wrong and if everything goes as planned. By next year koi show, this fish is expected to be around 80cm. See if my foresight is right!!! :)
