Also, Last week, I went to kodama.com auctioned two koi, the tancho sanke is from danichi. and a gosinki. $56 and $51, shipping cost is $105. Not bad. Here is the pictures.

update of AXia and HongYe (autumn)

AXia ,, when we just pull it out of filter box in Auguest, it was 7" now 9"




HongYe when we bought from petsmart, it was 4.5.. now 6" but some beni are weak.

last week, we also got JuHua

We got JuHua 4.5 inch $7.99 .. tail is very thin but good pattern

14" Koma from Sacramento koi

Yesterday, we went to Sacramento Koi.. Bought Koma for $125 14" looks like Nisai. I thought it was Sanke, but on dealer called it Showa. After reviewing the picture, I do see a black mark on the mouth area.

阿雄now and then...

Looks its he.. and 12"... but the color looks very funny

阿上now and then

finally, I bowled her up.. she is 11"



when she was 4" last year:

Got more koi

Per Kai, we don't have enough red color in our pond. Champion is starting to lose color big time... and Alice is going to college next year, we are only going to have the budget of Petsmart! So I went to Elk grove's Petsmart, got Elk Grove from gold fish tank, $5.99


Elk Grove was very lonely, he need a friend, so next day, we went to Citrus heights, find 九月. He is 5" $12.99



Next day, we need to get some food for the little 九月 and Elk grove, so we went to Arden, and found Autumn. ..4.5inch $7.99
