No bias against any single dealer.
I am very different from you... I go to the same place to have my hair cut by the same lady for the past 20 years.... I used to develop my photos in the same shop for 10 over years.... and i still patronise Petmart after 20years....

So once i find a service provider that i'm comfortable with, I will go back to the same shop even if i have shifted away.... maybe i picked it up from my parents... cos till today they still go back to the same market in AMK where i lived there as a kid.....

Bro....Koi is slightly diffferent, bec no 1 dealer will bring in all the different breeds or bloodlines, that's why has to move around.

For example, I personally like Momotaro, where my source is Max and Kepong Koi in KL.
For non-gosanke like Ogata Shusui, Izumiya Yamabuki, Kaneko Kujaku, Diamond will be the source.
Isa Showa and Hosokai Koromo, Summer will be the place.
For Sakai, you can get from Max, JK and Diamond.
Dainichi Showa, JK will be the supplier.
With Nippon starting to import this year, it will be a new added source for koi.

yup it's hard to find a trusted service provider n if got someone u trust it's better to go elsewhere even if the pasture is greener there

Aro or koi yes bloodlines are important but doesn't mean they are " must have " and they may not thrive better under your charge so the farmer will intro or recommend you the level of playing field suitable for appreciation at different stage of your hobby

I dun wish to collect bloodlines for the sake of collection, cars fish or any hobbies likewise ... I will go back to the one who can give me value and forward looking

Aiyah. There is many ways (as well as level) to play the hobby. There are pros and cons in whatever ways you choose. As long as it suits your preferences and needs, I guess there is no wrong or right.

There are a couple of breeder's famous fishes (e.g Dainichi Showa) which I hope to add to my collection in the near future. Therefore, need to run around a few farms in Singapore.
