We have two beautiful specimen Showa koi from a couple of world-renowned koi breeders. We learn about body confirmation and patterns as we compare the two fish to each other. We cover some simple suggestions for buying and raising fish that can elevate your level of Koi Appreciation.

We learn what to look for when selecting a high-quality fish and how the koi body will transform when they acclimate into US pond water. Shawn uses Japanese terms to explain the things you should look for when selecting one of these stunning Showa in this extensive koi discussions exercise.
