Mohantaro Grow Out Tosais

These are tosais from a local hobbyist who bred his Momotaro sanke with a male kohaku and a male showa. I think the male showa was too young and only the male kohaku spawned with the female sanke.

I suggested the idea of a Grow Out as a good way to disseminate the tosais among many hobbyists for raising in different pond conditions with regular reporting back on their progress.

These two tosais grew from less than 20cm to 45cm for the female kohaku and 41cm for the male benigoi in less than 6 months! Not too bad for a local breeding and the kohaku looks destined for jumbo.

Cheers,
Jeff
