Kin Showa Breeders

This is a pic of 4-4-13 weeding out kin showa fry. This was a good sized hatch.

It has been a while since we have bred kin showa but we are happy to say that they have bred and the eggs hatched in the 17th.  We are looking forward to their development.  The larger koi is the female and was bred by Ushijima Nishikigoi several years ago.  It is the last one that we have from that hatch.

Kujyaku breeding trio

Just one day after our Showa laid their eggs, not be out done, our sansai kujyaku from Niigata breeder Maruju laid her eggs this morning.  She is the one in the middle.  The two males are sansai bred by Ushijima Nishikigoi.

June means breeding season

Last year Ushijima Nishikigoi bred four breeds, kohaku, yamato nishiki, yamabuki goon and kujyaku.  This year we are looking to bred some new breeds.  We are very happy to announce that our yonsai Showa from Igarashi in Niigata dropped her eggs yesterday.  The the two males are from Tanaka of Niigata and Ushijima Nishikigoi (not pictured).  We look forward to seeing more of our koi breeding and we will keep you informed.  

Update: This year's tosai

This year we bred kohaku, kujaku, yambuki ogon and doitsu yamato nishiki.  They have been growing fast and are available for sale.  We will also be bringing many of them to the Ewa Bird Show in June.
