| Hi Tony, just to make sure that I understand you right, you are saying that the 5.5 head length concept does NOT apply to nisai and older koi. Is this correct?
Yes, in general look at most or all the pics of "Japanese" Koi Show fish, if you look at the ratio factor you can see 4-4.5 ratio clearer. The 5.5 ratio is a bit too long for me, maybe it is correct for some, but for me 4-4.5 ratio gives for a pleasing body when the fish fills out as it develops.
