Lately, I have been captivated by a batch of Gonjiro kois over at Kelana Jaya Koi Centre available at very reasonable prices. Ah Kit, the owner of Kelana Jaya Koi Centre, mentioned that they were part of a pond of Gonjiro Kois he brought into Malaysia.
I bought 2 Gonjiro sankes and a showa (all turned out to be females) sometime last year and am amazed at their body conformation and growth rates, and decided to give these 3 leftovers (all females) a try out.
Good things have also been written on the stunning jumbo kois that they are producing: http://www.koi-bito.com/forum/koi-articles-interviews/9103-gonjiro-producing-interesting-koi-limited-space.html
These pictures were taken with my phone camera, and I apologise for the poor quality of the pictures. I will try to use a better camera when I update their growth in future.
The first 2 pictures show a 37cm showa with submerged sumi that should give a balanced pattern when the koi finishes.
The second set of 2 pictures show a female 36cm sanke with thick beni, interesting pattern and a small tail fan.
She is a hungry eater, and the signs are good that she will turn out jumbo.
The final set of 2 pictures show a 37cm female sanke with tsubo sumi and interesting pattern.
She has a longer body structure and indications are that she will end up jumbo as well.
Time will tell, and hopefully, they may grow true to their Gonjiro bloodline and be good enough to enter koi shows.
