FOR SALE - Dainichi Showa

This showa has good body conformation with solid 4 steps hi pattern and kuchibeni(red lip) and motoguro which I think it is ideal for a showa. Once the black(sumi) on the lips appear, it will match with the red lip and it will be even more stunning. The tail joint also has half black/half red pattern that also matches with the lips. With existing strong kage(greyish black) sumi on the body, it will definately make this fish a safer bet and most likely the sumi will appear strongly on the white skin.

Size: 57cm

Sex: Female

Age: Nissai ( 2yrs old)

FOR SALE - Dainichi Showa

This showa will somewhat look like an inazuma(lightning) showa as it grows.Once the body starts to grow bigger and stretches more side ways, the inazuma pattern would be more visible. At this point in time, the sumi pattern is unpredictable and it can be an interesting fish to keep and see how the sumi will develop. The high quality hi and white background of this showa are also attractive.

FOR SALE - Omosako Shiro Utsuri

This Omosako Koi Farm shiro utsuri looks like a zebra at first glance due to its neat black stripes/pattern on its body. Its rounded body and good quality black with pure white skin are also contributing to the pleasant appearance of the fish. The predominantly black pectoral fins is the setback of this fish but as a whole it is still a good fish and qualified for most koi shows.

Update On: April 2nd, 2008

It has won 2nd prize in 75BU Utsurimono category in Malaysia Koi Show 2008 at Megamall Midvalley. The size and quality of the fish by itself is an achievement.

This koi reopened for sale by the new owner on 8th of July,2008.

Size: 73cm

Age: Yonsai (4 yrs old)

FOR SALE - Sakai Sanke

Superb sanke with superb body structure that comes with well-placed sumi markings throughout the whole body.Very thick tail tube that matches the head and middle section of the body makes it a very good tategoi(fish that will become better in the future). The maruten look-alike red patch on the head looks really mesmerizing and natural. Once you see it, you will remember the fish for a long time. The hi plate pattern by itself looks like a very good kohaku pattern after subtracting the sumi. Once the fish grows wider (side ways), the hi pattern/marking from the belly/side will slowly emerge and become more prominent.However, more sumi is yet to emerge on the shoulder(katasumi) and towards the tail end. This sanke has thick hi plate but light in colour. This shows that the fish is still youthful and not even finished/fully matured at this size and age. This is truly a rare find and at the age of 4 yrs old now, it is already measuring at about 79cm.It is expected to grow well over 80cm by the end of this year(2008) at the age of 5 yrs old.If nothing goes wrong with this sakai sanke, I am confident that it may touch a length of over 90cm within the next 2-3 years.A well-designed and maintained 100 ton pond is currently the home of this sanke and it will most likely become a serious contender for Grand Champion in years to come. Due to its fast growing nature, the hi plate got lighter and becomes a little pinkish/light orange/light red but the quality maintains. Once the growth rate of this sanke slows down,the hi plate colour will likely become more red and shiny. There is a minor injury on the right side of the fin but it seems to be recovering and it is not visible from the photo shown above. For more inquiry please feel free to call me.

As expected, this sanke won 1st prize in 80BU Sanke category. During judging, the Chief judge Nobuyoshi Ozawa from ZNA Japan actually picked this fish as one of the Grand Champion contender. However, due to the unfinished hi plate and lacking girth mainly because the fish is still young and only 4 yrs old, I think it is not ready to win Grand Champion yet. According to Ozawa san, this sanke is a textbook pattern type of sanke. If you extract the sumi, it looks like a good kohaku and the sumi is very well-placed throughout the body.

FOR SALE - Sakai Showa

Needless to say about the pattern, body and quality of this showa as most experienced hobbyists would be captivated by it. Interestingly, this is a MALE koi that looks so much like a female.
This is a superb example of a good male fish that is almost on par with a good female fish of the same size. In fact, many females do not have such body and quality at this size/age.
I am entering this koi under 65BU Showa category for the up coming koi show on March 29-30th 2008 at Midvalley Megamall and I have high hopes for this showa.

Want to own this living jewel? Please feel free to contact me.

As predicted, this showa won not only 1st prize in 65BU showa category and Best in Size 65BU, but it also won Adult Champion. Adult Champion is the best fish among all fishes in 55BU, 60BU and 65BU.Best in Size 55BU, Best in Size 60BU, and Best in Size 65BU both gosanke and non-gosanke are eligible to compete for Adult Champion. There were approximately 100 fishes in the 55BU,60BU,and 65BU category and regardless of how tough the competition was, this showa has beaten all female fishes and every other variety such as kohaku and sanke. For a showa to achieve this kind of finishing and beauty it is truly a rare find.
