Ha ha. sorry y i got to top it off. here are afew koi pics. had to  dig to find them. ive got better pics but dont know were they are now. enjoy


first pic is a very high end koi. judged not only for color/markings, but for body shape..conformation(most difficult aspect of competition koi)
second pic is overwintering of koi. this is were koi(colored carp) started. in japan they can get 12ft of snow, enough to choke out most ponds. brood fish were kept indoors in small ponds in the house. all fish were eaten and used, except afew breeders. when something odd showed up, like strange color mutation, those fish were saved and used for breeding next year. year by year the fish quickly evolved and changed.


pic 4 grand champion(red multi colored in pic 1) all japan show 94.

pic 5 me taking 3rd place....



sorry to diverge from the scuba. but somewhat relevant
