This fish looks much smaller than most but it just may be the distance from the camera.

I rated this fish 39. This was one of the split fins I was going to gamble on (if given the chance). Rated 39 it made my top 40. I liked the strength of the shiroji and the placement of the underlying sumi. If you color it in, it's almost perfect and look at that tail stop. The head is very clean and the body line, while under developed, seems true and promising. The leading rays, on the pecs, appear whole although the shape says male to me. The motoguro on one side, at this age, doesn't bother me. Nice choice Sandy and I have no doubt, with the TLC you'll give it, that fin will heal whole.
