Last but definitely not least is the grande dame of this tank. This sanke has presence. It just glided across the tank. I got a couple of close up of the body to try to show the quality of the fish.

Congrats Dick and Sue (AuntieSue) I think you've got a winner here!

Dan, that is called prescence when a fish swims and has the body and quality and you forget about the pattern.. Picture does not show quality but the body and bone structure. I gotta say that fish swam like it ruled the tank....

I think the GinRin Showa is 28-29"...It is from Shinoda and is a sister of the GinRin Showa that took the Nogyosai GC...Pretty Badass...

The conformation on Sue's Sanke is powerful...with one flick on the tail it glides...powerful!!! Also Badass!!!

Actually Joe, there were a total of 4 of them, Frank and I bought 1, Ken at Eastern bought the other 3. Loc Buu bought the #2, Michael Chua bought the #1, and the #3 was bought buy a gentlemen backeast. Loc's looks really good still. But the #1 & #3 are both dead.
