I'm uncertain of Russ' concern about the Sanke. I expect that in person it is not as red (more on the orange side?)and the sashi may clear up in another year. Maybe Russ will explain his concerns a bit more.

Yes, the Sanke is, or looks like a Gin Rin, but is very dull. At almost four years old it is very lack luster and messy. Too much Beni, for me, on the head, and the quality of the beni looks bad. The sumi is flat. It is not a very pleasing Koi.
