“M Tanchozuru” is our new oyagoi, and female parent fish to the above baby koi fries. She is a beautiful Tancho Kohaku (snow white skin), bred by the world renowned Japanese Koi breeding farm, Sakai Fish Farm, which happens to be the new World Record Koi Farm holder for the Most Expensive Auction Koi Fish, for a Sakai Sanke in the recent Sakai Fish Farm Koi Auction 2013.

Marugen Koi Farm is pleased to post an update on our baby koi fries, that have survived through their most vulnerable period since being released into the mud pond, where baby fish-fries eating predators such as dragonfly nymphs, water beetles, water spiders and other carniverous water insects are found naturally. That is not to say that many unfortunate baby koi fries have lost their lives to these merciless predators, some under our own helpless eyes, which needless to say was very painful to watch.
Now at about 1 week old, the baby koi fries are bigger, healthier and strong enough to ward off majority of the predators. But danger is still lurking, especially with the bigger predators such as the dragonfly nymphs and the water spiders, and Marugen Koi Farm is keeping its fingers cross that most of these baby koi fries will be able to last through at least another week of danger zone, before the same baby koi fries are big enough to switch “predator-prey” roles, and now become the predators, feeding on their former predators that have previously preyed on their innocent and sacrificial siblings!
If you look closely into the video clips, you will notice that some of the baby koi fries carry some black sumi markings, which means they can grow up to become either Taisho Sanke, Aka Bekko or Shiro Bekko. This is expected, as while the female parent fish is a Kohaku, the male parent fishes are made up of Taisho Sankes and Kohakus. Hence, the rest of baby koi fries are expected to develop into Kohaku and Aka Muji (or Benigoi).
These baby koi fries are offsprings of our new female parent fish, “M Tanchozuru“.
“M Tanchozuru” is a beautiful and snow white Tancho Kohaku, bred by the world renowned Japanese Koi breeding farm, Sakai Fish Farm, which happens to be the new World Record Koi Farm holder for the Most Expensive Auction Koi Fish, for a Sakai Sanke in the recent Sakai Fish Farm Koi Auction 2013.

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:

Nevertheless, Marugen Koi Farm wishes to congratulate Sakai Fish Farm on its extremely successful & bountiful fruits on its recent Sakai koi auction 2013, as well as the new owner of this World Record breaking Sanke!

Here is a video of M Tanchozuru’s baby koi fries, taken in the spawning net, before they were released into the natural mud pond.
To ensure that the baby koi fries grow and develop well, Marugen Koi Farm feels that the natural habitat is the best bet, where ample food and natural nutrients and minerals are available. Hence, plans had been made for the baby koi fries to be released into the mud pond on the second day of hatching. However, transferring newly hatched baby koi fries from the breeding net into the mud pond is a very risky affair, as the baby kois are very fragile. It is like throwing a small little fish into the big Ocean. To add on, predators of baby koi fries, such as prawns, dragonfly nymphs, water spiders, water beetles and other carnivorous water insects are also co-existing naturally in the mud pond. During this critical time in the mud pond, life and death of the baby koi fries very much dependant on their will and intelligence to survive the most dangerous & ordeal period of their life, at least for the next 2 weeks. It is during this initial period that the baby koi fries will eat as much as possible, to grow as quickly as possible, so that they will outgrow, and no longer become preys of the predators, but themselves become the predator of their former predators (ie. the water insects).
Here is a video of M Tanchozuru’s baby koi fries, after they have been released into the wild, the natural mud pond.
Now, these baby koi fries will have to fend for themselves, at least for the next 2 weeks. After that, new set of predators may come in, the free-flying birds feeding over the small koi fishes. But let that worry come later, because now, the breeders at Marugen Koi Farm sincerely hope most of M Tanchozuru’s baby koi fries will survive the most difficult period of their growing stage, the initial 2 weeks!
Marugen Koi Farm is delighted to update that the koi eggs spawned by our new female Oyagoi “M Tanchozuru“, has hatched. There are so many baby koi fries. Now comes the hard work and patience to painstakingly nurture the baby koi fries. The first 2 weeks are the most vulnerable period for the baby koi fries, and a lot of time and loving care is required to ensure the safety of the baby koi fries.

Meantime, please enjoy a short video of our baby koi fries, on the first day of hatching 🙂
