| GR Showa
Nico
What are you waiting for?? This is as nice a GR showa as you'll find without going to Japan yourself and paying large sums of yen for one. The others are correct in their assumption that it appears to be a male. If nisai (more than likely) it has done a credible job of growing. Body conformation could be improved. Depending on your size pond and your fish load, I would guess that this fish could attain 24"-26" in the next 2 years. Not bad for a male. The only thing about GR fish is that if the sumi gets too thick, it usually covers the GR.
Anyway, depending on what the dealer is charging for the fish, I would say between $500-$750 US would be a fair deal
Good luck! If you buy it, keep us posted on it's development next year.
Regards
Mike
