| When culling showa or shiros, the black selection is only to get your efforts off with the right koi. the light colored ones are not worth trifling with. the actual viewing for mis shaped heads missing fins etc doesn't take place until the koi is more 3-4 inches long. soirry I didn't make that clear.
with yamabuki, at the 3 inch stage your looking for sheen/irradescents
and properly sized pecs. many times they are smallish or mis shapened. |
