| Erns, I agree with others' assessment that koi #1 has a better nisai conformation but beni is too finished whereas koi #2 does not have a better conformation but beni is soft and not finished. I would be happy with any of these two koi, however, my experience (or lack thereof), has been that if you don't feel comfortable then don't make the purchase. Especially when it's a big purchase for a nisai. I am also concerned that if they have been in a UK dealer's small sell tank that their growth may be affected. Just my opinion. Regardless of what decision you make, please keep us posted on their development. |
