Tategoi Challenge, and new Yume Koi pond
Thursday, 29 September 2011 00:00

It's been several months since the last new update, and there have been many many changes here at Yume Koi! More on that later though...

Last year's Tategoi Challenge winners are finally decided. This year was a tough one, with three very close contenders for the 'Unlimited Class' and two very close runners for the '£700 Class'. The emphasis on the Koi has nothing to do with how the Koi will fare in the Koi Show, but how good a candidate they are for growing up to be good Koi in the future.

Japan Spring 2011 & Tategoi Challenge
Saturday, 09 April 2011 02:04

As I write this, I am in Japan. My trip started with leaving the UK on 23rd to Judge the Indonesia Koi Show. After that, I flew to Japan via Singapore.So far, the trip has been a great success!

For those of you that bought Tosai last year, please remember that all are eligible to compete in our Tategoi Challenge. Competition is stiff however, with many of last years koi now becoming fantastic Nisai, some of them now some 68cm! (that's not a typing error). Also, all of the Tosai we are now selling can compete in our next Tategoi Challenge, which is split into two classes of 'Up to £700' and 'Unlimited'. The prizes for the winners of the two classes are a free koi of your choice of up to the original purchase price (£700 max) and for the 'Unlimited' class, a koi of up to original purchase price (or £2000 max). Please send in photos of koi you purchased last year in order that they can be judged.

Many thanks, Mike.

 
International Koi Congres 11th - 13th March
Monday, 28 February 2011 21:37

Thirsty for Koi knowledge? On the 11th to 13th of March, there will be a huge three day event in Holland packed with lecture after lecture about all things 'Koi'. I will be lecturing on the 12th and 13th of March, but these two lectures represent just a fraction of the knowledge that you could gain from this immense event. If this is of further interest to you, check out the official website for 'International Koi Congres'

See you there!...

Mike.

 
Used Bakki Showers for Sale, and other stuff...
Tuesday, 08 February 2011 16:14

One of the very first people to run Bakki Showers in the UK has moved to Morocco, so is selling all three of his Bakki Showers. They are the 2nd generation systems, and complete with more Bacteria House than needed. If of interest, call Craig directly on 07901 350086. The price on these systems, is £500 each complete with genuine BHM media, so an absolute bargain. He has never had any viral or bacterial problems, so you can buy these with confidence of their safety. Craig's systems can be seen on our Bakki Shower Appraisals pages HERE. Sorry, all three systems now SOLD.


Also, following our conversion to drum filtration last year at Yume Koi, we have two double width Estroseives for sale in excellent condition. Please call us if of interest.

 
All Japan Show, and Momotaro Aution 25th Jan...
Sunday, 23 January 2011 14:09

Hello,

I am currently in the departure lounge waiting for my flight to Japan. Anyway, on Tuesday (9 hours ahead of UK time zone), I will be attending the Momotaro Auction in search of Nisai and Tosai. If you have any interest in any of the Koi on Momotaro's website, please feel free to drop me a line. The Koi can be viewed on Momotaro's website HERE.

After that, I will be attending the All Japan Show, where I will be judging, and then going to visit a few breeders... Keep your eyes on the 'Japan Blog' pages.

Many thanks,

Mike.
