How old is this koi and is it male? I really like conformation especially if nisai. SHiro and Sumi seem to be coming on nicely and together. Beni seems less developed than other colors but maybe photo. Pattern is very nice.
Extra difficult to judge Gin Rin from a photo. What you want is as many very strong straight rows of GR starting right behind the head and extending all the way to the tial without gaps that break the lines of GR. Also if the GR is too strong it will diminish the quality of the beni and sumi. If the quality/thickness of the sumi and or beni is too strong it will diminish the appearance of the Gin Rin.
It is very difficult to find a high quality Showa. Even more difficult to find a high quality GR showa. Factor in that GR showa has one of the very lowest yields of any variety and good ones can get pretty pricey.
This one looks to be a great ride and lots of fun to watch develop. Congratulatons
