Over this weekend we will be running our ever popular growing on competition. Whilst the format remains the same, each year we endevor to make improvements. 

 

As the event appears to get more popular each year we have found ourselves selling out of the normal 250 number of special koi on the Saturday of the event, often leaving regular customers who can only make Sundays with little choice or no fish to purchase. With this in mind this year we will have 200 special koi on view and available for purchase on Saturday and a further 200 that will only be made available on Sunday. This will prevent much overcrowding and also provide a fairer choice for all . We will still have the prize of purchase price of fish refunded and £100 of quality food for the koi with the largest increase in size. We will also have the most improvement in quality prize of the same value purchase prize refunded and £100 of quality koi food but will have a prize for each of the two days. Giving both Saturday & Sunday an even chance or double the chance if you attend both days. 

 

Over this weekend we will be running our ever popular annual growing on competition. We will have available 250 high quality small koi all of which were born in June of 2018. The koi available have been selected from the following breeders :- Teradomari, Ofuchi, Sakai, Miyazaki, Hiroi, Yamazaki and Seitero.  

These fish have not been previously displayed in our retail area and will be priced between £35 and £275. All koi will be photographed and measured and any koi purchased will be kept in our indoor growing facility at 24 degrees c until Easter 2020 then cooled and made available for collection.  

The owner of the koi with the greatest increase in growth and also the owner of the koi showing the most improvement in quality will have their purchase price refunded and receive a free 2kg tub of Avenue fisheries growth food and a 2kg tub of Takazumi growth & colour food also 2kg of Medicarp. This is the same mix as they were fed during the growing period.  

Last years winning fish for development of quality was a doitsu Sanke bred by Hiroi. The winning fish for growth was a Gin rin kohaku bred by Teradomari which grew by 11cm. 

Over the weekend of the 6th and 7th of October we will be running our ever popular annual growing on competition.
