Judging

I will give it a go with the understanding that I am no koi judge but will put my foot in my mouth and try to learn from the excercise.

B Good
A Better
C Best

That was the easy part but the "why" of the listing is in order. B, while a wonderful fish that I would be very glad to have in my own pond, is a two step by definition but most of the fish is a one step with a small spot on the tail without a good white tail stop to finish the fish. The conformation is not as comanding as the other two. The tail tube is small compared to the other two.

A is a nice 3 step. Very much like B when it comes to the last step of the pattern. Hi goes into one eye on the head. Conformation is nicer and maintains presence all the way through the tail tube.

C is a wholy $hit pig. Comanding conformation. Whites look better, but are always hard to judge in a picture. Especially if the blue backgrounds are all the same color much has to do with expose levels of the camera rather than the fish. Love the tail stop on this fish and the tail tube. Her head is unique and the pattern is lovely. If I could choose one of the three she would be it.

I believe B is the youngest of the 3, likely tosai. C is the oldest.

based on the pictures, and not considering future potential.
A C B

I place A above C, as C is a litle bulky at the belly, does not give the 'compact' feeling high confirmation koi should have, while A gives some of that.
