I know they're all famous Nishikigoi. But could you enlighten me as to the breeders and bloodlines so I get a fix on some of their best?

Well the Sanke is Toshio Sakai's first GC win with the Magoi Bloodline he created. The fish was raised at Momotaro in which Mr. Maeda grew the fish to what it is at the time of show. The problem with any GoSanke at those big sizes is the body becomes not straight anymore. This was the first 100cm+ GoSanke to win the All-Japan GC. The fish was owned by Mr. Takigawa and the fish soon died right after the show.
