Wednesday .......Maruhiro , Hirasawa and Miyatora

SALE !!!!!! Good morning everyone. As most of you know I’ve spent a lot of time in hospital in the last six months. A month in the middle of the harvest due to an infected leg that led to Sepsis, and another month-6 weeks after an operation on one of my kidneys that was right at the start of the sales when the weather warmed up, combine this with what has been a more quiet season than usual . This has left us with Sue trying her best to hold the fort, and us as a company with too many unsold koi. So we need to reduce the volume of koi we have here. So from now if ordering koi on line, please use SAVE25KOI to get a 25 percent discount on koi only. This includes all koi, even these that will be going on the site this week. Tamaura female nisai.

After lunch we visited Miyatora , his fish were fantastic , many varietys and prices were quite good , this time the only 3 fish that moved me were sold out , oh well you cant win them all ! Round the corner to Hirasawa , this really is a huge facilty ,( and they have another five like it !) . The place was stacked full of koi but again none that we where really intereasted in . Maruhiro is in the same place as hirasawa (his dad ) where it really is like a visit to the mad hatters tea party . I dont mean that disrespectfull , the guy really is a laugh to be with and jokes all the time . Seeing nothing new we started to make a move out the door when one of our party saw some new chagois, being light after we couldnt get them at Marudo we managed to get 16 , along with the gin rin ones from his dad we are all now sorted for chagoi. For people who are worried that they wont grow as big as Marudo , Hirasawas bloodline the brood stock are all over one meter , and one female was 1.4 meter , is that big enough ? Also good news , Maruhiro is oing to try and harvest my shiro that we left out there last year on Friday , lets hope its three out of three ............................
