My dealer is very sure that a lot of sumi is coming through, the first photo I placed is taken in november, and the last 3 photo's are from this afternoon. So in 2 months this sumi is developped. Next may she is becoming sansai. So she is still a very young fish

Since november it is slightly getting better with that sumi, but will it get more in the future ? Based on Momotaro and Matsonusuke sanke I raised I do not think that you are going to get more sumi than you can see comeing through . The only thing that bothers me if it is blurred kiwa in centre of fish on first photo , it might just be photo ,as Kiwa I have found does not seem to improve it becomes worse with age . Otherwise it looks like a great fish wish I had it . Regards Eugene ]

Eugene:

This is not matsonusuke or Momotaro Last year whe also purchassed a nisai sanke from SFF with also very little sumi, we have her now 8 months in the pond and she has improved her sumi.But not the big sumi patches, but the little patches I like. I think this sansai will hopefully gets a big sumi patch on her shoulder, and hopefully some little ones between the 2 hi-plates. So I think with this sansai it will be OK.

The blurred kiwa is indeed the photo, because the water was coming over the bowl, because she was very lively when the photo's were taken.

I think for 99,9 % we take the gamble and buy her
