OK. Today I am on leave,and since it coincided with the 12th Singapore Koi Show (2nd time they are hosting in Max Koi Farm), as a fishkeeping enthusiast off I went with my Sony digicam in tow.
Called Goldrush to ask him if he is interested to join me as I left my place at abt 2pm, but he doesn't want to answer my call leh............. And so here are some of the pics from the lonely cameraman......... |

So what do we look for in kois?With my limited knowledge and according to a friend of mine whom is a koi enthusiaist, here are a few guidelines:
1)Balance, which is an important judging criteria for all fishes 2)Body shape - Like torpedo 3)Grace - Fish must swim with minimal effort and body movement.A flick of the tail and the fish glides as if it is doing ice skating 4)Colour, skin texture.Colour to be deep and border well defined, and scales edges should have a layer of shine "FUKURIN". If you look closely at the 'fukurin', it should look like a fishing net. Here is a topic on 'Fukurin' incidentally started by yours truly: http://www.rafflesgold.com/forums/index.ph...wtopic=2118&hl= |
