Jaco: Once again, can only share what I've read. All the interviews of Japanese breeders say to eliminate the ones with less shine. The more intense the metallic, the better. The strongest shine is in small ones, and only goes down as they grow. If you cull for pattern, you will lose your best fish. (And, if I were in your place, I'd probably still keep a few of the ones with the most appealing pattern despite what everyone told me!) On to more important point ... Got some pictures???
