I really like her and think that she has great potential would buy a fish like that if I could afford her . Do you have an option to keep her in a mud pond for a year ? Is the summi on her the new kind ? Is she over or under 4g ?
Hope you get her just so you could send us the progressions
Regards

I do agree with you that she has great potential.If I buy her,she will be kept in my pond. Wat type of new sumi are you reffering to?Think shes an offspring from Aio ll....

The favorite part of this Showa to me is the head. It has strong bone structure to grow bigger...The pattern is to each his own...

What does sumi do in your pond? Does it tend to come up/out? If so, I would consider the purchase. In my pond the fish would probably be a little light on sumi and I think this fish needs quite a bit of strong sumi.

Headache...With time, the hi further back will match the depth of hi on the head. At that point, you know the hi is finished. The goal is for the sumi to finish the same time as the hi....with a wonderful snow white shiro. Then...you have a winner!!! You don't want the hi to finish too early before the other colors...so this fish looks like it may be on target.
