I'need to stress one important point regarding selection of fish, which I've mentioned earlier. We have to do selection on behalf due to various reason.

- We need to stop feeding the fish at least 12 hours before packing; for the safty of transport. Therefore, the fish you'll see mostly likely have a smaller belly. So, we need to take the fish out from the big pond and place them in a tank for quarantine and diet control. We can't effort to stop feeding the whole tank.

- We are very confident that the fish you get is at highest quality for the category (family/challenge). Therefore, early bird gets the bigger worms. The rest of the grooming and success will be base on your skill (don't worry, we'll get you covered on this issue)

- It is also a Japanese tradition for the breeder to do the selections on set basis packages. Price will be 10X if an induvidual goes to the farm and select his own fish. This is due to during the induvidual selection process, other fish might be hurt/injured.

- There are minor details you might not notice but we know what to look for a good piece. The tail, body propotion, swimming, etc... we'll do our best to select on the day before your pick up.

I hope this arrangement is acceptable for you.
