before the appearance of omosako, many shiro breeders had fish that developed what i call double stomach easily and were prone to be stubby and obese. Since that time the current breeders have gotten away from those genetics and it's made a nice difference.
Some of the early showas that were developed from this match and kohaku also tended to develop the same way. Sure glad we got past that certainty into a better body shape.
