It’s Momotaro Koi Farm Auction time tomorrow, and we at Marugen Koi Farm also like to join in the fun to pick some of our favourite kois. Will any of Momotaro auction koi claim the Most Expensive Auction Koi, only recently set by Sakai Fish Farm Auction 2013, for a beautiful Sakai Nisai Sanke, for an astronomical price of 21,000,000 Japanese Yen (equivalent to about Singapore Dollars $270,000 or Malaysian Ringgit RM685,000)? We will find out tomorrow!
Male Koi category:
We begin with the Momotaro Male Koi category, and especially like No.8 for its strong body conformation and nice beni patterns.
No. 08 Male Kohaku 56cm
Momotaro Koi Farm Auction
Oyagoi New Mako Kohaku:
Next we look at the offsprings of female oyagoi “New Mako Kohaku, and finds No. 31 to be the most appealing among many kohaku beauties.
No. 31 Female Kohaku 53cm
Momotaro Koi Farm Auction
Oyagoi American Dream:
In our opinion, Sanke No. 39 stands out immediately among its sisters from female parent fish “American Dream”. She is just so beautiful; lovely kohaku pattern, accompanied by well-placed Tsubo Sumi on snow white shiroji skin!
No. 39 Female Sanke 56cm
Momotaro Koi Farm Auction
Oyagoi Thukithukemomoko:
Another easy choice, our clear favourite goes to No. 57. The round sumi patches is especially attractive!
No. 57 Female Sanke 55cm
Momotaro Koi Farm Auction
Oyagoi Mako Showa:
This is a tough choice, as there are just so many beautiful showas to choose from. Narrowing down to two lovely Kindai Showas, No. 72 and No. 84, we decided to go for No. 72 as our favourite as she has very strong thick sumi. We continue to like No. 72 for its beautiful pattern, and feels that she has the potential to develop into a very beautiful showa, once her underlying sumi appears from under her snow white shiroji skin.
We first showcase the video clip of Momotaro Kindai Showa No. 84:
No. 84 Female Showa 51cm
Momotaro Koi Farm Auction
Next, we showcase our personal favourite, the video clip of Momotaro Kindai Showa No. 72:
No. 72 Female Showa 59cm
Momotaro Koi Farm Auction
Oyagoi Shiro Showa X Mako Showa:
In our opinion, the clear favourite goes to No. 97. Though she lacks in sumi placement for a showa, she compensates with her wonderfully simple yet beautiful 3-steps kohaku pattern, and very strong body conformation. Another future koi with loads of potential to develop further.
No. 97 Female Showa 56cm
Momotaro Koi Farm Auction
Marugen Koi Farm’s Favourite Momotaro Koi:
With so many beautiful Momotaro Gosanke koi fishes to choose from, in our opinion, the clear favourite goes to the Sanke No. 39. She is just so beautiful; lovely kohaku pattern, accompanied by well-placed Tsubo Sumi on snow white shiroji skin!
No. 39 Female Sanke 56cm
Momotaro Koi Farm Auction
Will this beautiful Sanke No. 39 get top honours to become highest auction koi tomorrow at Mototaro Koi Farm? And more importantly, will she claim the Most Expensive Auction Koi, only recently set by Sakai Fish Farm Auction 2013, for a beautiful Sakai Nisai Sanke, for an astronomical price of 21,000,000 Japanese Yen (equivalent to about Singapore Dollars $270,000 or Malaysian Ringgit RM685,000)? We will find out very soon! =)

This Dainichi Showa was sold under auction hammer for a price of 4,000,000 Japanese Yen (equivalent to about Singapore Dollars $ 50,000 or Malaysian Ringgit RM 130,000).

This is far lesser than the World Record Price for Most Expensive Auction Koi, only set recently at the Sakai Fish Farm Koi Auction 2013, for a beautiful Sakai Nisai Sanke, at an astronomical price of 21,000,000 Japanese Yen (equivalent to about Singapore Dollars $270,000 or Malaysian Ringgit RM685,000).
Enjoy the following video clip of Dainichi’s Most Expensive Auction Koi 2013
This Dainichi Showa was one of Marugen Koi Farm’s opinion top Dainichi auction koi picks before the actual auction day. She has a lovely kuchi-sumi spot (black spot at the tip of her mouth), and large red beni wrapping on her huge body, with evenly placed white shiro and black sumi placements. A young Nisai already at 55cm, she is an offspring of Butta Junior, and has a great future ahead of her.
Will she become a future Grand Champion? Only time will tell!

Click here to see the Most Expensive Auction Koi Fish.
Here at Marugen Koi Farm, we decided to join in the fun by picking a few of our favourite Dainichi Kois, that will be undergoing the auction hammer tomorrow. So here goes!
Dainichi Koi Auction No. 001
This Yonsai (4 years of age) Dainichi showa is a size 68cm beauty. She has a lovely head pattern; thick black sumi striking through a patch of blood red Beni on her forehead, accompanied by a mix of thick black Sumi & light & blurred Boke Sumi, and balanced by patches of blood red Beni pattern, and not forgetting the snow white Shiro on her shoulder. She is an offspring of Kokugyo, arguably Dainichi Koi Farm’s most famous & fruitful female oyagoi. Many of Kokugyo’s offsprings were former Grand Champions, and Champions of other sizes. Will this showa No. 001 become a future Champion, like many of her successful half-siblings? Most importantly, will she break the world record for Most Expensive Auction Koi, only recently set by a Sakai Sanke at the Sakai Fish Farm koi auction 2013?
Dainichi Koi Farm Auction 2013
No. 001
Dainichi Showa
Offspring of Kokugyo
Yonsai, Female
Size: 68cm
Dainichi Koi Auction No. 061
This Dainichi showa has a simple yet pleasing 3 steps kohaku pattern, with well placed sumi spots that will easily make this showa look like a Sanke if not for the sumi striking through the right side of her forehead. An offspring of Gachako, another popular female Oyagoi of Dainichi Koi Farm, this showa at size 56cm, is only young as a Nisai (2 years of age), and has time ahead of her to develop further.
Dainichi Koi Farm Auction 2013
No. 061
Dainichi Showa
Offspring of Gachako
Nisai, Female
Size: 56cm
Dainichi Koi Auction No. 102
This showa has a lovely kuchi-sumi spot (black spot at the tip of her mouth), and large red beni wrapping on her huge body, with evenly placed white shiro and black sumi placements. Another young Nisai already at 55cm, she is an offspring of Butta Junior, and has a great future ahead of her. One of Marugen’s favourite.
Dainichi Koi Farm Auction 2013
No. 102
Dainichi Showa
Offspring of Butta Jr
Nisai, Female
Size: 55cm
Dainichi Koi Auction No. 217
This Nisai Dainichi showa has blurred and light sumi with some thick black sumi spots, and finished with blood red beni patterns, this Boke Showa is not regarded as a traditionally prize-winning koi, but she does look charming. Another offspring of Gachako, she is sized at 49cm, slightly smaller built than her sister No. 061.
Dainichi Koi Farm Auction 2013
No. 217
Dainichi Showa
Offspring of Gachako
Nisai, Female
Size: 57cm
Dainichi Koi Auction No. 227
This Dainichi showa has a nice coat of blood red beni pattern, snow white shiro, and well-balanced by patches of thick black sumi on the left side of her body. She also has a lovely mini kuchi-sumi spot at the tip of her mouth, which is rather appealing. A Nisai @ 52cm, she is still very young, and far from finished. A lot will be expected from her as more under-lying black sumi appears from under her skin. A beautiful kindai showa, she is probably one of our favourite in the pool of many beautiful Dainichi showas on auction.

No. 227
Dainichi Showa
Offspring of Sakura
Nisai, Female
Size: 52cm

A Nisai @ 56cm, she is an offspring of Gachako, another sister of No. 061 and No. 217. She has a lovely red beni patch on her right eye, and very tiny sumi spots at the front of her forehead, though not a usual pattern for a Nisai showa, she does stands out in her own way.

No. 242

New World Record koi auction price set at the recent Sakai Fish Farm koi auction 2013. At an incredible price of 21,000,000 Yen, it was a beautiful Taisho Sanke, an offspring of Sakai Female Parent Koi (Oyagoi), “Shining Rose”.
For those losing count, 21,000,000 Yen is equivalent to about Singapore Dollars $270,000 or Malaysian Ringgit RM685,000. With this significant cash, one can easily purchase a classy fully-furnished condominium in the heart of Kuala Lumpur City, Malaysia, or even a small & cosy HDB apartment flat in land scarce Singapore!! =)
Here is the picture of the World Record winning Sanke:
