Cheers for you views guys and i am very pleased with them at the moment and hope for more yet.The first Momo Sanke looks like it has the potential to get a bit bigger yet

and has some nice scales

Yes Andy there are a few Momo Shiros around and this one has been in the wars before but no its getting back on track and may come good.I believe Shiros take a good few years to develop properly....i am in no hurry

As you can see below not very nice

Hi Gazza
You really have done a good job at fixing that shiro, and he is coming on a treat. They all are, well done and I look forward to seeing the new photo's in a couple of month's. That shiro sure is nice

Thanks Kim,

What one the Momo or the Omo

Quite right Gazza, about 5 years or so, so I am told. but isnÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t it great that there is always something to look forward to.

As mentioned earlier I will do my best to get a good picy.

I also have a nice Sakai shiro, so it may be good to try and compare, the 2 breeders

Regards

Andy

Yes sounds like a good idea and will look out for the two

Hope you had a pleasant evening

Hi Gazza
The Momo, I had my eye on it at the south east show, it was/is beautiful, and I am sure when you have grown him he will be a stunner. It is so nice to be able to watch him and see how he is doing. He will do a lot better in your pond than he would of in mine. He'd of shrunk if I had had him

Hi,
I like the Shiro and the pattern on your Kuhaku is great.However my favourite has to be the Showa.Hoping to get a nice one myself when I go up to Cuttlebrooke in May.

Hi Dorothy,

Yes i must hold my hands up and say i am looking forward to seeing this fish grow and develop and interesting pattern,only time will tell but an interesting one to watch.

Thanks for the kind comments and i am 100% sure you will be able to pick up a nice Showa at the farm

hi Gazza,
The second Shiro looks to be coming on nicely, would love to see a better over head pic to see how the pattern is developing.
The Showa is very striking and one that really caught my eye, whose the breeder ?

The Showa is Momotaro and i will have a look for some better pics Dave

The Sanke for me, then the Kohaku...they all seem to be developing well, must be that water....

Cheers Al,

The Sanke is a bit white for some bit the skin quality is good.

The Momo Shiro has taken a bump on the head so will post some more soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Gazza

Please forgive me, I said I would post a couple off photos of my shiros, will still endeavour to do it.

Just havenÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t had the time of late

How is the injury coming along and do you think R.O water helps fish to heal quicker.

Yours inquisitively

Andy

Hi Andy,

The Shiro seems fine and RO water defiantly helps keep the fish healthier i will try to have a look at him over the next few day but when i see him yesterday it was not so red and looked like it had gone down.
