[@southwestkoipond5045]

I’m painting a Supreme Champion Showa right now and listening to your video. Thank you for all the great tips to help push my painting to perfection!

[@Aboutkoi]

Wonderful, share the results when you are ready. Thanks for your kind comment!

[@adyatamagallery]

Thank you for sharing many good and easy to understand koi contents. I am your fans now😙👍. Always koi for friendship, from Indonesia.

[@Aboutkoi]

Hi there, I'm glad to hear you liked the video. Thanks for your comment. 😀

[@stevenlane2641]

Love the classic style Showa, great content as usual

[@Aboutkoi]

Personally I like classic Showa more as well! Although a good Kindai Showa can be very nice for sure.

[@gilangignasraharjo6138]

You made such a great detailed guide! Thank You... Please keep making video *Subscribed *

[@Aboutkoi]

Thank you for this compliment, that is really great to hear!

[@BIBLE-UNBUTCHERED]

Great tips

[@riyanto3912]

Another great video 😃. I also have a showa-ish koi, wel atleast it was categorised as showa. Balanced black and white, But it has only 1 red marking on its back 😪😅.

[@Aboutkoi]

That's cool, still you at least have a showa in your pond. Did it lose some red? or did it never have a lot of red on it's body? Thank you for the compliment!

[@riyanto3912]

@@Aboutkoi it didnt had a lot of red 😅 there were actually two spots but now its just one. i dont really know how the other one dissapeard

[@Aboutkoi]

@@riyanto3912 usually it has to do with the quality. But nevertheless let's hope the other red dot will stay. It can still be a very nice Koi even with a bit too less red of course!

[@Koi_Sachverstaendiger]

Basically yes, what I mean is that we at ISA have made the experience that there is always a catch when it comes to cheap fish. With other breeders you have the chance to find female and good fish among the cheap fish, but not with ISA.

[@Aboutkoi]

That's true perhaps. ISA is quite a high standards breeder. You surely will have to pay for quality

Go glad I found your channel 👍👍👍

[@Aboutkoi]

I'm glad you are enjoying. Thanks for your compliment!

[@akmalidham]

please do a vid on how to select young showa

[@Aboutkoi]

Hi there. Good idea to do a tosai selection video on tosai later on. Thanks for your suggestion!

[@EyezLikaFox̌]

Not me taking notes so everytime i go looking at koi I'll have my cheat sheet lol Question, is it possible to find a good quality koi sold as a pond fish? Like maybe the breeder thought it was no good and then BAM it turned out perfect?

[@Aboutkoi]

Hahaha 👍 nice compliment! Yes, for sure that is possible. Some people do find 5-30 dollar/euro Koi that even can manage to get a prize on a show!

[@129pico]

Great info...thank you...

[@Aboutkoi]

Thank you! Great to hear 👍

[@benzdiegosubayno9722]

My showa is only 15months old and there's beni underneath its head and I think its a menware.. Will it still develop?

[@Aboutkoi]

Is it beni (red)? Normally no extra red will come up on showa, only ocassionally, for that reason most likely it will not come up.

[@benzdiegosubayno9722]

@@Aboutkoi yes it is beni a spot is already on the surface... Forgot to mention also has sumi around also underneath the skin...

[@benzdiegosubayno9722]

@@Aboutkoi also on body I have pitched black sumi already but some are still underneath the skin just like the modern kind of showa you shown but mine has lots and lots of black

[@tpvang]

My favorite is classic showa

[@Aboutkoi]

Nice one

[@CapeFearKoi]

Good information.

[@Aboutkoi]

Thanks! Hope you enjoyed and learned something new

Do a video of selecting a good shiro utsuri 😊

[@Aboutkoi]

AboutKoi oh wow I didn’t see hahahahha thanks 😍

[@Aboutkoi]

Hopefully it helped you! 😉

[@kimhakduong]

Hi can you select a showa for me?

[@Aboutkoi]

Hi there, how you do mean select one for you?

[@jeffdunnell6693]

Preference is the way to select koi.

[@jaredamans7744]

👌

[@Aboutkoi]

👍

[@Koi_Sachverstaendiger]

as i know Isa if you get a buyable fish it has disatvantages like this Isa Showa

[@Aboutkoi]

I guess that is the case with any breeder. The ones sold for affordable prices are the ones the breeder doesn't want to keep for an extra year.

How to select a good quality showa fries at 1 month

[@EyezLikaFox̌]

I could be wrong but around 1 month i think they would still be looking/culling for major deformities.

[@johnlocket8966]

Thickness is more important and these fish lack thickness.

[@Aboutkoi]

Hi john, thickness of what exactly do you mean?

[@satyakamamaharaj60]

Would be a lot better if you eliminate the annoying music.

[@satyakamamaharaj60]

Sorry my mistake.

[@Aboutkoi]

I think the video contains no music 😉
