Seefdro, this is a wonderful thread! I'm sure I'll be visiting it often to see your updates of the incredible Johnny 5.

I really liked that fish and it had been in my top 20 as one of the really nice Dark Horses running in this race. Lots of baby sumi rising, leaving the shiroji looking a tad muddy, but that's okay. What will remain when lifted will be really nice silken skin and a clear complexion for snowy shiroji. Your drawing very much resembles what I think Johnny 5 will look like later on too--a white on black fish. Is that not what Utsuri is all about anyway? I like heavy sumi just like I like heavy shiroji...as long as it's quality, and Johnny 5 is very promising.

Good luck in the growout!
