Dick Benbow; a question or two

Dick Benbow,

I'm a newbie (be in for a little over year.)

I look at this beautiful sanke and see good fin coloration(solid white- no sumi), nice pattern and good body form. However, I also notice (in my eyes) that the sumi seems minimal in relation to the size of the fish. Is sumi the last color to come out? (I presume this to be a female). Or in a sanke, sumi is not necessary to be strong for the fish to have a strong showing?

Thank you in advance for your answers.

matt
