cantonguy : i love your chagoi, and can't imagine it actually reach 70+ cm ! but, hmmm...flood...yeah...it suxx...i wonder if i decided to put all my koi inside my house in K Gading last time... anyway, since i rarely and in fact i can't go around to Indonesian koi dealers (local and import) except during my holiday...do you have any idea about the quality of local koi (to make it easier, at Hanggar Pancoran) ? one thing that diferentiate local koi industry and jap industry is that, in Indonesia, people often refer their koi to the 'dealers' product' rather than the 'farmers' product'...this is one thing that i hate but, i can't do anything to change it... hence, do you have any info wether the local famers at Blitar are already using good oyagoi ? coz, from my expereince going to Blitar and when i actually purchased my koi at Hanggar, i always and have to ask about the history of the koi...i can't really get the name of the farmers except from my 2 dealers whom really very close to me...but, most of the people says that their oyagoi is around 60cm (which i personally feels that...it's far from being a good oyagoi)... it is because, there is a trend that the local koi price is increasing (at increasing rate)...some of the rare cases, reaches 2 digit millions (which like, c'mon ?!? are you sure)...those 2 digit millions samples tt i found, are really good, comparable to imported koi...but the main problem comes in, at their size 40cm++, they are already finished... sometimes i wonder, since imported koi, are according to my friends, dealers, millist and all...are actually decreasing, due to competition from local industry, other importer and reduction in tax-redtapes and all...i might really shift to imported koi one day... the main reason, i like to buy koi from young which has really bright future (well...at least not finish to soon)...and, from what i read and see, for imported koi, it is very hard to get the true tosai tategoi in Indonesia...therefore, the only possible sources is local koi, where, maybe with help from certain people, i can get to the farmer directly and purchasing their best fish (maybe....)
