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

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

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

Oyagoi Thukithukemomoko:
Another easy choice, our clear favourite goes to No. 57. The round sumi patches is especially attractive!

No. 57 Female Sanke 55cm

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. 72 Female Showa 59cm

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
