We're Experimenting With Sunday Night Live Tonight

Tonight is a change from the usual format, so it's worth a couple of minutes before we start.

The show starts at 6pm, not 7pm. Set a reminder if you normally join us on the hour — we'll be well underway by then.

I'll be pond side for this one, in the fish houses. The lots are selected, but they're coming onto screen straight from the pond, shown to you in the environment they've been living in rather than a studio setup.

There are only a few listings on the site at the moment, and that's deliberate. The bulk of tonight's offering gets revealed during the stream as a mixture of fixed price fish and sprint auctions. If the site looks quiet when you click through, that's why — it fills up as we go. And if you're not watching, you'll miss them.

What's coming out

This is the show where the Dainichi Toyota "Pandora" Hi Utsuri finally come out. I've been teasing these all week and they're from my own stash, so I'm not going to pretend it's easy handing them over.

Alongside them:

• Chagoi and Ginrin Chagoi from the Kanno – Sakai Mango bloodline

• D.K. Shiro Utsuri

• Top Nogami Showa, with growing included

We keep changing the format on purpose. Every show pushes the platform we're building a bit further and shows us what the functionality can really handle. What works, stays. What doesn't, we change.

Tonight, 6pm, live from the koi houses. The replay will be up on the channel as always, but the fish won't be — if you want a shot at these, you need to be watching live.

In the meantime, you can browse our Japanese koi for sale ahead of the show.
