Your really getting pretty good growth on her. I think that's so important for an asagi which does not have much red to come into play with the pattern. I think that red on the face in either shusui or asagi can give personality to the koi but with asagi, their blue and net pattern is their basics and the bigger and nicer that is the better.She also looks like as she gets older her face will whiten. Hopefully once she finishes stretching you can get some volumn to her. With shusui again it's the scales that are bottom line important. They are the ones that run from behind the head to the tail. they should be so alligned and identical as to (in theory) match up like a zipper. Every once and a while you see one like that an marvel at the allignment. Keep her growing kiky, love to see her again at about 68-72 cms. her face and fukerin should be quite stunning.
