I have a few you could pick from for your Birthday gift. Kh above 80 would be good. GH 300 or less. Ph, between 7.8 - 8.6 and stable.

I love A as well but keep being drawn to C. The shiro hits the most opportune parts. The tip of the nose, the shoulder and 2/3 back on the fish and the tail finishes nicely. The balance is spectacular. I like the motoguro slightly heavier and I wish the sumi would enter the head a little better, but the fish pulls on my eye.

I will take all three for my own pond and be very happy.

Nice fish. I love C. It's got it. Body, layout and the sumi is better than the photo. Come on you guys, where are your eyes?

They are in the back of my head.LOL

A all the way.

B doesn't look like it'll ever be finished and C, though nice enough, just can't stand up beside the power and symmetry of A.

IF it came down to HAVING TO make a choice of a fish that MUST go to show in the near future, I would have to select A as it shows a much higher level of development. B would have been my next choice except for the short stubby pecs and the window at the dorsal line. C would be my last choice to take to an immediate show, but the first I would select to grow on in my pond!! It's got the makings of one helluva fish!!

Since you already told us these three all did well in Japan I think it's only fair that you tell us how each placed Just another fun part of these threads we learn from.
