| she looks too short in body length to reccomend
I think the koi has an attractive pattern. But remember with a gin rin, it all about the GR. And we can't tell that from a photo. Physically you have to look at the koi and make sure there are no soft spots or faded area in the GR as it passes thru the two colors thru-out it's length. It must be clear and uniform.
That said I want to commend you for your diligence in the search for a good kohaku. There's value in looking and getting other's opinions. Unless your really cracy about GR, you might be better to settle for a kohaku without it.
I think the fact she is female with an attractive pattern and nice hump influenced the breeder to keep her another season to see if she would lengthen. Seeing she's not gonna, it has come on the market.
put that fish in a small pond and crowd her and you'll have a shape your favorite NFL team could throw for a touchdown.
