Marugen Koi Farm is pleased to showcase the growth development of yet another Marugen Kindai Showa Koi. She is currently being raised in our mud pond facility in Singapore. The comparison is made between a quick snapshot picture taken when the showa was undergoing culling at an adolescence age of 2.5 months old, and a recent video clip taken when the same koi fish is now about 5 months old.

This Kindai Showa has an interesting pattern, especially with the beni patch on her left eye. She also has very good skin quality from a young age of 2.5 months old, and the snapshot taken below is not doing her much justice, but unfortunately, this is the only picture we have available of her.

Please enjoy the two video clips of the same Marugen Kindai Showa, now at more than 5 months old.

Now at more than 5 months old, this Marugen Kindai Showa continues to maintain excellent skin quality; with sharp contrast between the red beni and snow-white shiroji, and a tinge of black sumi patches to provide a well-balanced look. If one notice closely, she does have underlying sumi at the top of her forehead, which when surface above her forehead skin, will only do her more good. Possessing an eye-pleasing pattern, she is far from finish, and have an excellent future ahead of her; a Marugen Tategoi indeed!

This Marugen Kindai Showa is currently being groomed in our Marugen Koi Farm’s mud pond facility; where minerals and nutrients that are found naturally in the mud pond, act as essential health supplements for kois to grow healthy and develop better.

Marugen Koi Farm is pleased to showcase the growth development of another Marugen Showa, raised in our mud pond facility in Singapore. The comparison is made between a picture taken when the showa was only 3 months old, and a recent video clip taken when the same koi fish is now about 5 months old.

At first glance, the 3 months old Marugen Showa (as per picture showcase below) may not appeal to many. But if one look carefully, she actually has a lovely side in her; a basic and simple 3-steps kohaku pattern on white shiroji skin, which is well-balanced by underlying sumi (sumi hidden under the white shiroji skin). What matters now is if the underlying sumi will surface from under her white skin, to make her a more complete showa!

Please enjoy the video clip of the same Marugen Showa, now at 5 months old.

Within a short period of 3 months, her underlying sumi is starting to surface prominently; which helps to provide a simple yet attractive uniformed-pattern of thick red beni, developing black sumi and snow white shiroji. Without doubt, this Marugen Showa is beginning to blossom into a very high quality and beautiful young showa Tategoi. A classic example of an “ugly duckling” developing into a “graceful and beautiful swan”. With proper grooming, she definitely has a very bright future ahead of her.
