From the pics I saw those koi r both too young to assess responsibly. Momotaro dealers know how Momotaro showa develop and how they will look in the future, and from what little I know of how their's grow, it looks right on course to me to be awesome in the future. I could be wrong, but the body shape is their signature and what has won them many competitions, so to me it is 1-3 years too early to tell on that one. The Hi on the other one looks to me to still be emerging. Be smarter than to base credibility about bloodlines and dealers from an internet chat site. Most of the posters here who seem so innocent have businesses their bling bling depends on too.
