totally agree with you 100%. there is a koi left that has a really nice heavy pattern but if it weren't for what appears to be a bent pec fin, it would have been my pick last round. little things like that will always make the koi less than what it is in my mind. pond space is precious and i don't want to keep on looking at that pec fin all the time....
