| A nice group for a colorful pond. The Showa has a nice pattern. The Sumi appears to be weak quality. The Kohaku will not improve. The goal is to maintain what you see through excellent water management. The yellow one has deep color. Unclear just what it is. I would like a better view of the pectorals and the darker areas within the yellow... If it does not darken, this is the one that will bring lasting enjoyment. The Shusui has decent scale alignment. Kept in soft water, you'll learn a lot from it on color pression in the Asagi-Shusui group. If in hard water, darkening discoloration may occur that will ruin the beauty of it. This does not always occur, but often does in hard water. |
