Update on the this Sanke...

I got a chance to bowl this Sanke and take a pic of it. It is 18" inches now and has improved quite a bit...

Cute!

On your fish, I like the odome section - not only the tail stop but also the thickness of the tail tube. I like the sumi on the shoulder. I like the head shape for a young fish. The hi plates all look fantastic. I wish the head had more hi, but it will be a great pond addition at that price from a very nice blood line and fun to watch grow and develop. I've bought more than my share of kohaku that went shiro muji and would love to have this sanke in my own pond. Congrats on your good deal.

'Tonio . . .

for under $200 that's a great buy -- and it's done very well in your care.

I like the sanke also, little short on the hi on the head, but otherwise nice koi. Not bad if you ask me.

Definitely a nice sanke. Nice skin, sashi, kiwa and color quality..coming along really well. The only thing that puts me off is the bald thing. I think if the shiroji develops into a blinding white...it will be very forgivable. Nice job growing it

Can’t help but feeling that head matches tail in a complementing way. If more black comes through on right side it will be close to incredible in Norway any way.

Good point, I think it is very enjoyable to look at. The shiroji is very, very nice. When th Hi and Sumi finish it will be a great sanke.
