Aw man! Now that's a true tragedy! That's the first sanke I've actually drooled over. Sakai-San is a true gene-weaving artist in every sense of the word. What a shame that fish was lost, especially after the show. Makes me ever so much more cautious about stepping into showing. I'd be totally devastated losing someone as precious as that sanke, or any of the Nishikigoi you posted pics of.

Who are the other two fish, their breeders and bloodlines?

Also, when you say "GoSanke at those big sizes is the body becomes not straight anymore," what do you mean by "not straight?" What does the body do, go somewhat disproportional or lumpy or? I can't quite see it in the pics, if that exists in these three...
