I'd disagreee with your satement regarding the other siblings catching up. In my experience the 'shooters' with the big genetics will always be bigger. There is no way I ever see the little ones catching up. I own a 10" yonsai kohaku, it lives in a pond where I can get 6" growth in a season, you tell me???

If that were the case, where are all the sibblings from the 101cm sanke which won the all Japan 3 years back?

Big genetics are one thing, but the trate is not always passed on.
