| I also know that the girls rule the roost but a nice male is still a nice fish. I enjoy the pattern on this particular fish as well. Love the tsubo sumi placement.
When I blew up the picture in my viewer, the shiroji looks very stressed indeed. If this is the normal condition of the white I would pass on this one, if the fish is stressed I might need to reconsider. Some white fish really pink up under show conditions. I remember a friend that had one the best examples of a shiro Utsuri that I have personally seen. The fish would really pink up at the shows though and did not always put her best foot forward. When fish are considered as show contendors it is nice to see how they will react to the show tank. This is not a standard reaction in that each fish is an individual in this respect.
