Both koi are really nice looking koi and I really like the showa. Do you mind if I ask what you had to give for the koi and if you had to have them shipped. I really like the pattern on the showa and should improve as the koi grows, if you got a large pond that one will really be a beauty when if finishes. The Gin Rin scales are really good and have a thick shine. I hope it stays that way. Good luck with them and happy koi keeping.
