| Good points Dick. With ogons the body is paramount, but start first by looking at the sheen on the head and shoulders. If you do not have a thick, even layer here there is no point in looking at the body. You can whittle the numbers down quickly and then focus on other criteria. However, light can play tricks on you when looking at young ogons. Be sure to see the fish from various angles and in different light to get a good gauge. It is maddening to sort ogons for days on end. When they are young the difference between the best and a so so koi is very small. |
