About Sumi, I have nothing but trusting the parents. When Kiwa is sharp, beni quality will get to finish eventually. When I select, I will pay close attention to Kiwa (edge) of Beni (red), than color of beni. Then, future winners start showing their potentials afterwards. We can never tell which Koi can be future winners when they are small. We have won many awards in the All Japan Koi Shows. I have been intently working on improving the sumi (black) for several years. Isa Koi Farm Mitsunori Isa talks about how to select Tosai Koi! So we can suspect the Koi will grow bigger and faster. If Koi can grow much bigger than other average Tosai, it proves the Koi did receive DNA of growing big. The benefit of buying Jumbo Tosai lies in the potential of Koi. When you buy a tosai koi, you are able to watch how big it grows in your pond!

This means Jumbo tosai and small tosai koi are the same, except one is bigger and can be well beyond 10 inches(25 cm).

Koi may not change in a way you expected. You can raise them in smaller ponds or even in indoor aquarium. By raising them from Tosai, you can enjoy how they grow and become more beautiful.Īnother benefit is that you do not need a lot of space. In addition, it is fun to watch them grow. Koi from famous breeders are much more affordable. Many like to buy Tosai because of the value for money. There are many reasons why Tosai is popular.
