OMG Grant! How cool! Do you have any before/after pics to share? I don't mind at all if you post them here--it's a good comparison and learning tool.

Hey, when the sumi was coming up, did it come up as shading first, or little specks of greyish sumi that bled out on top of the shiroji before forming larger sumi patches/stripes?

What did Mr. Omosako have to say about the development of yours? Any predictions on finish, or if this type of skin is better or worse than others....

I would be interested in knowing if this skin and sumi presentation is either typical to Musashi or Panda. We can't really know which one the fish in our growout came from, if either (they came from these two, plus one experimental breeding, I do believe), but this might be some kind of indicator.

More! I wanna know more!
