| When hobbyist are considering a potential purchase, they must judge the finish of the fish they want to buy. The Shiro posted is clearly male, from the skin tone on the head to the large pecs and the finish of the sumi. At Sansai and female the Shiro's head should be a cream color. The sumi finish if female should be at around 40-50%, the sumi on the fish posted is at 80-90%. Like JR stated males still have a future, but not as bright as females. |
