I'd sell my soul for a Kohaku from Dianichi. I used to be obsessed with koi, and I'm so tempted to get back into them... the generations of work that go into those lines, and the incredible beauty...waiting at the airport for a fish to arrive after picking it from the mud ponds...it's a high, like getting one of your FCDs Kenny, and at $100,000+, in the same price range as some!

FCDs don't get sick, and even if you find them in your drawer upside down... they're still worth the same

They are beautiful, I agree, you should start a koi thread, tell us about each of them.
Have you been over to Niigata?

It was pretty sad for him but this isn't the first time and I'm sure he'll be doing it again when he's got a more long term spot. He had quite a few fish in there and also was a photography enthusiast and loved to take photos of his tank.
I'll start with an earlier picture (this is actually after some growth, they all started out super tiny). He was always saying the same things about his lights but he had super crazy filter system. No clue how he kept up with it and he almost lost the tank during hurricane Ike when the power was out. Thankfully had a backup battery system and his power wasn't out long otherwise it wouldn't have been good.
