Hi Steve

Looking closely at the first picture you posted when tosai, you can see blue-grey scales among the dark brown ones on the lateral areas of the fish and also the pecs were showing signs this. Personally, I don't believe the fish is fading as much as MikeM believes. Again, the pecs are kinda the stabilizing factor for the hi in this fish. Granted, the fish is going to lose some hi, but how much will be the determining factor. I think it will still be a very nice GR Ochiba for a few years. I think it's $20 well spent on the learning experience alone!

Mike
