my first koi pond at my Ex g.f house had 2 show winning koi in it worth alot and they wont let me get them back after i rebuild a pond here lol dug down 3 foot then bricked up from floor level. still got 6 fish round my m8, he's had them for over a year, 3 i,ve got to leave with him, grown too big to come here, better off in his pond. got a nice goshkoi which took a first last year in the mid staff koi show, just got to go and fetch him back and get him ready for the show in september, reckon this one and the tancho sankie in the pic will do well this year |

. You take them to a venue, put them in a big vat, aboat the size of a big paddling pool, they are split into size catorgrys and type , ie colour paterns etc and then they are judged |
