no mistakes steve, pretty spot on. if you cant tell with all those tell tale signs then the fish is plain old out of good health or too young. good to see someone explaining that certain signs arent foolproof and to look at a few if not sure.
its funny but those goldfish really do have the stronger pec frame to hold the pimples out strong and more sturdy and pronounced along the body for further distance, often so obvious..ive got these boys that have it like a mean weapon, but kois on the other hand seem to be much harder to tell just by that.
sometimes youve got to get them in the light to show it (by eye) and not feel it by hand.
you can move it about reflecting the cheek in the sunlight to show them up as even though they may not be raised to the touch, they are sitting there still.
i was thinking the other day how i rememeber accidentally spearing a koi with an aluminium rod and finding it swimming round the next day with its belly open and it had eggs inside at only one year old, id never have known otherwise.
