Well done Ronin, thats very impressive growth mate.. My chag's seems to be staying put at about 18" for some reason, it must know I bought it for the impressive growth rates..

Thanks,
From April until october the pond was unheated, just good food,
Then when the heat went on over winter, the pond was kept at 23 degrees!
I also have a Gin Rin Chag from Cuttlebrook which was purchased at the same time.
She went from 8" to 15"

You'd never guess it was the same fish.....
Looks lovely now, that wouldn't be the Cuttlebrook
premium food would it

Hi Ronin
...and welcome. That is a really nice Chagoi and some great growth sorry to repeat what the other's have said but wow. Any photo's of the Gin-Rin as I have just bought a tiny Gin-Rin Chagoi from Cuttlebreook that my son chose and it would be nice to show him what his little Goldie could look like in a year or three
Again welcome to the forum

Hi Ronin
Welcome to Koi Quest!
Thanks for showing us your two Chagoi. Your koi keeping skills are obviously second to none and the Chagoi have clearly been given the best possible chance to flourish. Well done! I look forward to finding out how they are getting on the next time you measure them.
Hi Parastalker
Look forward to seeing you soon.
