Mr. Bob-

Start with genetics, meaning a fish with quality attributes and the potential to exemplify the variety.

Add excellent keeping in great pond water with volume, depth, circulation and abundant, various food sources.

Fat, powerful tails, osutzu (?); streamlined, fluid, bulky bodies; entrancing, vibrant skin color and depth; are the intended results.

Did I mention "start with genetics"?

This fish of Jimbo's (no profile, buddy) looks well kept.
