| "Seventy-nine"
This was the 146th pick overall.
December, 2007: Selection photo. There weren't many good choices left, but I was delighted to take this fish. Whereas folks probably view my first pick as too short on pattern, and my second fish as having too much black, this last choice is in the middle--more of a standard choice. Hopefully the white will close in around the eyes and the rearward sumi will flourish. Still a clean fish, skin has potential, good fins and motoguro, possibly female.

April 20, 2008: Comments: head is very black now. Sumi is very wild and spotty all over the body, whereas more organized sumi would probably be better. This one is the best eater and most friendly. Would really be happy to get 2 or more females out of the 4...
June 11, 2008: Mid-point photo. Minimal growth as we have only now switched to high protein. This one is my favorite right now. It's friendly and a nice pattern has developed.
