Thanks Dan,
It's always difficult appraising fish that others have already declared an interest in but for me the asagi doesn't excite. I'm guessing from head shape it's male but the 'dinks' to the leading ray of each pec plus hi up on the body around the dorsal would be enough for me to dismiss it, sorry.
The Utsuri is, to me, a much classier and better quality fish. Seems nice shape, is it male or female, lovely thick tail tube and the pattern may well develop. Great shiroji, if you've got it flaunt it and this koi does.
I must stress, just my opinions!
