The next thing is the "poitiness" of the head or even possible "pinched" appearance? Most koi when photo'd with their mouth's open such as this one will apear to have a pointy head. Again, picture angle and 2 demensions verses a live 3 deminsional view can be totally different. I agree with Nancy the many other quality attributes "seem" to be present. but again, "Live" is the only real way to tell. Steve

Steve, but when you have first hand experience & knowledge of owning and raising a pond full of High quality show fish, one can see that this fish (from the pics) posses these qualities. I would love to see a video of this girl swimming.. Or better yet, at a koi show in Japan this year strutting her stuff.
