Next auction is on Sunday 22nd. PLEASE DO NOT BID UNLESS YOUR POND IS 13 DEGREES OR OVER. Over wintering available on some koi, if so it will be in the notes.
Today we launch our first ever show and grow style competition. We have never done this before , as so many people want so many different things from a competition , so to try and include everyone , we are having two this year, and trying to do something a little different. The first one is called Azukari and show (todays one), and the other Try your eye which be later on in the week.
Azukari and show : We have 26 koi purchased from Narita koi farms open day , these are from Marudo, Dainichi, Omosako, Sakai fish farm and Maruyama. They are jumbo tosai , and will be grown on under the watchful eye of Ryuki Narita at his farm . In the Autumn they will be judged by Ryuki Narita himself and then shipped to the UK as nisai . First prize will be the 43cm tosai sansan kohaku from SFF , second prize 10kg of any probites food and 3rd , 4th and 5th will recieve 3kg bags of any probites food . Last time we grew on fish at Narita like this we had koi grown between 50-56cm .
The price for entry is £1295 per fish , they were all judged to be female ( but as they are tosai this cannot be guaranteed ) , however if a fish is lost during the azuakri , we will replace or credit, there are no refunds under any cricustances due to the outlay for us to put this on . Selection of koi will be done on a raffle basis, ie we will raffle the order of people to choose thier koi , and although we have 26 koi , the offer is for 20 people first come first served , this gives the person who is drawn last , still has a choice of 7 koi . We think this is the fairest way after talking to many customers, we will take orders at 9.30 today , good luck to all tose taking part.
