"Inch by inch"

This year's grow out is being done by Bill Tullis who has won many prestigious awards in the koi hobby at shows throughout the Pacific Northwest.

When we approached Bill to talk about a fall grow out and got to know him it just seemed like a good fit. During our conversations about the fall grow out we decided that we were not only going to show inch by inch results of koi being fed only MIZUHO High Quality Koi Food for a period of four months but that you can obtain great growth in areas with colder winter climates.

Some of the koi that were chose for this fall grow out are from breeders Koda and Marusei purchased at Summit View Koi. Bill who typically grows out Gosanke stepped outside of his norm and chose other varieties as well such as Goshiki , Chagoi and Ogons.

Helping document this 2011 grow out is Koi TV® and you can visit our grow out page by clicking on the grow out button at the top of our site to view pictures and videos of this event.
