I really think it depends on which parent stock the fish came from. Dainichi has more than one pair of showa oya. I have a male inazuma showa I got from a local dealer 2 years ago as a tosai of around 10". The fish today is approx. 18" and thin. Pattern is very nice and still developing all 3 colors. I agree that it seems that most of the Dainichi fish brought in by dealers in the U.S. are of this caliber. If you want something special from Dainichi, you almost need to go to Japan yourself and pick it. That way you can inquire about the parents and see how the fish will develop. Other than this, I think we get all the chuppa here. Their fish are very expensive and the dealers are only looking to buy what they can sell here for a reasonable price, otherwise they get stuck with it until the right person comes along or they put it on sale for cheap.
