Guess which Tosai Kohak is 180,000 Yen...

[gofish]

I choose C

[kingkong]

I will pick B, it resembles the Little Rascals pet dog "Petey". You know, Spanky's dog that had a black circle around his eye. That trademark is worth a fortune.

[Gallagher]

personally I wouldn't pay $1,800 for any of them.
However, that wasn't the question. So now we have to decide whether $1,800 is a high price for this particular group or low price. I'm guessing it's the lowest price for the group and therefore goes to B.

I'll go with c

[keokoi]

The price makes you second guess yourself. Originally I thought maybe B.. Then I said I am thinking to hard.. My true guess would be A

Give you guys the answer in a bit....

[dick benbow]

C would be my selection to own and grow on. I'm attracted to B as a pattern,
as a fish to put in the show right now. A would have a pattern that would hang with it's bulk better as it grows.

making selections from photo's only is not my cup of tea...gotta see the koi in real life or trust the breeder

[koifishgirl]

I would chose C 1st and then maybe B. But I dont think none of them have a good future unless somethings have changed since the pics were taken, Anyways I can never really tell from pics

[jesusb]

I will say A

[dinh]

I normally like to pick koi with quality regardless breeder... But for tategoi with that price, you need to know the breeder as part of the prediction for future development.

Anyway, by pattern as mentioned by Tony, C is kind of heavy hi for me. B will have long tail break and small head to me.

So A is my pick by pattern
