Just for fun - pick a showa

[Dan Blatt]

Isa bred showas 7-8 inches in length. Just for fun which one do you like if any?

Forgot one

It is a toss up between the 4th and 6th kois. I think the 6th koi could be a monster when grown up. The 4th kois is patterned very similar to my own Isa showa(~50 cm).



As a side note, someone knowledgable told me that Isa's kois tend to be skinny-bodied. Is this true? My own koi does not have much volume either.

I like the forth showa, looks like the pattern is goin to be balanced..The forth one, that's the ticket.

I like the first one. The third seems to be a nice 'old style'.

Maybe Erwin san can elaborate more on this since he bought an Isa Showa Tosai earlier this year. Also, Dunkel has a very nice Isa Showa Sansai, maybe he can throw in his two cents.

I like the fourth, also.
It seems the hi and sumi are coming up slow(ish) and evenly.
The others look like they'll finish quite early and possibly have overwhelming sumi.
