Pick and predict how these Brady Showas changed

[Gallagher]

Well it's been about a yr since I posted the first yrs development on these Showas from breeder Brady Brandywood. So let's see want you think and if anyone has changed thier choices.
This post is meant as a learning tool of sorts, in the development of these showas that were picked out as Nisai in Jan 2005.
Please note that they have been inside since I got them. The tank was to be a Q tank ~900g, while I built the outdoor pond. Now 2yrs later the pond is pretty much done an these fish will go outside next spring and continue thier growth in 14,000 gal of water. I can't wait.

Sorry for some reason pics # 1&2 didn't upload. I'll try again. For some reason I can't post pics to a tread twice? Tjos is the pic from brady though but you'll have to refer back to the beginning for the arrival shot.

I think it is interesting to see how the Hi plate has thickened on the first showa. I would have past on it previously just because of that. I think that in quality gosanke that is where knowing the breeder and blood lines can help. As what you see now is not always what you end up with for better or for worse.

Maybe after all of the pics are posted we can get Brady to tell of a little about what he thinks of the developement of the fish.
