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 :D and has some nice scales :wink:

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 :D

Quite right Gazza, about 5 years or so, so I am told. but isn’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

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 :lol:

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 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 ?

Hi Gazza


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

Just haven’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

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.
