Hey,
I saw 2 kindai showa which are nisai. They are just out of the mud pond supposedly. One, the body and head is very milkish white, displaying very high quality shiroji (the first pic). The other, the head is yellowish, and body tinge yellow.
Upon purchasing, based on the photo, I really liked number 2, however, after seeing the fish in person... I took home number 1, as the size was bigger, and the white just captured me, but the beni seem a bit thin.
I was wondering if the yellowish on the head n body (fish #2) is due to the mud pond, and will clear up later on in our pond...
I am still learning, so please comment on, positive and negatives are welcome... thanks
