Click on photo for larger view

These are the latest hand picked good Dainichi showa with Dainichi's Certificate and guaranteed females. These showa are between 30 to 35cm in length and they are all tosai. Showa A has the most interesting pattern with five steps maruten and kuchibeni which is extremely rare and it will be very striking once the sumi appears on the shoulder and towards the end of the tail tube.
You actually see hidden sumi that is yet to appear all over the body. Very interesting indeed.

Showa B, the head pattern looks adorable with good motoguro and well-balance hi pattern throughout the body.Menware (V-shape sumi on the head) is expected to emerge at a later age. The bigger it grows, the head pattern will be more prominent and attractive.This is a more stable and less risk kind of showa.

Showa C has the best hi quality out of the three showas but the sumi does not look good and it is very uncertain how sumi would appear at this moment in time.But if sumi appears one the white shoulder as you can seen in the photo, there is a patch of hidden sumi that MIGHT circle the hi patch near the dorsal fin. The maruten on the head is very much sought after by most hobbyist and the menware is about to appear boldly on the head. It has big head and body structure and I presume it will grow bigger than showa A and B. If you look for a very challenging fish to play/enjoy, this is the showa to consider.

Pricing:

Koi A: RM4000.00

Koi B: RM4000.00

Koi C: RM5000.00

FOR SALE - Mixed Variety Koi (Go-Sanke)

Koi A,B, and C are two years old Dainichi Showa . These three showas, the sumi patterns have yet to fully emerge. However, their patterns can be quite interesting although they are not fantastic. They have good body structure and good hi plate. Koi A has the best hi plate while koi B has better body structure and pattern at this moment. Koi C has good white skin but lacking sumi pattern.

As for Doitsu sanke in photo D, it is bred by Marusyo koi farm.In my honest opinion,Marusyo sanke tend to have slower growth rates compared to those from Sakai Fish Farm. This three steps sanke is pretty neat but sumi patches are not there yet. Need to take some risks and wait for the sumi to appear if anyone intends to bring it for koi show.Sanke E is three years old, the origin is not known and the structure is a little too thin and long but it is a female surprisingly. The pattern of sanke E is good and the sumi placement is perfect but it will lose out to other better sanke when it comes to body shape.

Note: None of them are crooked/deformed (the photos may not be clearly taken).

Pricing:

Koi A: RM 2500.00

Koi B: RM 2500.00

Koi C: RM 2800.00

Koi D: RM 2800.00

Koi E: RM3000.00

FOR SALE - Dainichi Showa

This is a nissai ( 2 year old ) showa from Dainichi Koi Farm that comes with Dainichi's Certificate. The highlight of this fish is the body shape that looks so pleasing and captivating.
It looks thick from head to tail with proportionally tall body that makes it look even more striking. Not forgetting the head hi pattern that is so uniquely beautiful with up coming (kuchi zumi) sumi pattern on the tip of the mouth.

As for the kage sumi pattern on the body, I think it is really ideal for the showa variety because a fully developed sumi blends with kage sumi normally looks better and preferred by most experience koi hobbyists as it gives us the implication that it is a koi that will become even better in the future and more a youthful appearance.

The hi plate of this fish really stands out in my pond. At first glance, the red of this showa catches my attention everytime when I view my koi fishes in the pond. The sumi on the head is getting more and more prominent. The sumi blend so well with the red pattern with very sharp kiwa which is also an admirable characteristic of this fish. No doubt, it is a top class showa.

FOR SALE - Dainichi Showa

Showa A is my Dainichi Showa that comes with Dainichi Certificate of Authentication.

Showa B is the All Japan Grand Champion 2006.

I am offering showa A but not showa B because I am only using showa B as a reference/comparison.

Both Showa A & B are bred by Dainichi Koi Farm in Ojiya City.
Koi A was born in year 2005 and now it measures about 65 cm in June, 2008 at the age of 3.
As for koi B, the koi is about 84cm at the age of 6 worth a few million Yen.

The reason why I posted the photo of koi B because I see a lot of similarities between koi A and koi B. Please do not get me wrong, I am not claiming that they are exactly the same but the overall pattern is almost identical especially when koi A becomes more matured and the sumi pattern appears more prominently.

Showa B has won 2nd prize in Malaysia Koi Show 2008 in 65BU showa category lost to my own male showa 65cm 1st prize that eventually won Adult Champion. This showa B at the time of the koi show was not as finished as the Adult Champion because the sumi is still far from finished.This does not mean this 2nd prize showa is not as good as the 1st prize showa.

However, I see a lot of potentials ahead for this showa B. With nice body shape, high sumi quality that blends well with the hi pattern, good bloodline, and reasonable growth rate, I personally think that this koi will be a great koi in two to three years time. At the age of three, it has already started winning 2nd prize(65cm) and I am quite certain that it will win more major prizes if nothing goes wrong with this fish. At this point in time, this is the best Showa I have to offer. Do not miss this chance to own a living jewel like this.

FOR SALE - Hoshikin Kohaku

Most people might say,male fishes have no value or not as valuable as females.To me, I have a different opinion. More importantly it is the quality of the fish itself. Assuming you have a female fish that does not have good quality and it grows very big, you are just admiring the size and not its beauty.In my viewpoint,the beauty of a fish is the quality of the red & shiroji,balance pattern,sharp kiwa, tight sashi and a matching body shape.


The kohaku shown above has everything except it is NOT a FEMALE.Assuming if it is a female, how much do you think you should pay for it? RM 8000.00 to RM10000.00 ? In fact, in most cases, they cost more than what I mentioned.It won 3rd prize in Wakagoi Show 2006 and 1st prize in 45BU Kohaku Category in the Malaysian ZNA Koi Show 2008 beating more than 10 other kohaku of the same category.
Think again!!! :)
