This is first Koi show I've been to and it was a fun one. Held at Sky Nursery's main greenhouse in Seattle we were protected from the elements.
There were about a dozen tubs with Kois that have been submitted by members for show. The judges were a Gary Elmore (VA) and Michelle Gravenish (MN). Funny enough we ran into them later that day at PAN intercorp and they helped us pick out the 3 best fish from sale pond Picture below. What a treat to have 2 seasoned Koi judges help you pick out fish.
The fish were amazing. Their size and colors were very inspiring. So much so we ended up buying 4 little fish from the sale tubs.
But we weren't done yet...
15 minutes away is Pan Intercorp aka koi.com. These fish below are Pan Intercorp Kois. These were $200 a piece for about 10 inches.
The judges helped us select these 3 kois. I think they are very beautiful with lots of potential. 1 Kohaku and 2 sanke.
Unofrtunately, since my pond is only near completion, i didn't want to come home with more fish only to house them in a temporary holding cell.
But I'll be back =).
