yep, that's the one. The only thing you have to worry about on this fish is the 'fracture' in the beni on the head and shoulder- this would be something you would want to stay away from on a kohaku but on showa the other colors tend to take away from that concern. But in all fairness these fish are just out of the mud and the colors will fix more after they are in clear inside water. And it doesn't take long to see that- maybe a few days to a week.
In fact, I happen to own a yagengi showa ( Dainichi) that has that 'fracture' flaw and it was a gamble at age three. It was in fact, cheaper because of it. I'll snap a picture of it tomorrow and you can be the judge. JR
