Sakai Kohaku, Please critique.

What do you think of this Sakai Kohaku, 3 yrs old, female and 65cm? There is a small cut on the mouth that is healing and on the pectoral fin. What do you think of the skin quality, pattern, confirmation and sheen?

The best thing about the Kohak is the conformation and shiroji. The worst thing is the beni quality. Kiwa is not very good.

Neither is the buzo(bald) head!!

Can bald be beautiful? In this instance, the whiteness of the head is a strength IMO. If the Beni would all fade away, this would be a shirogoi worth keeping in somebody's pond.

I have no great issues with this fish. It's nice. BUT please get some antibiotic paste with a good steroid in it and apply it to that nose tear ( nose rub) before it gets infected. You have about two or three days and that skin flap with die and leave a white patch on the nose. If it gets infected you will see a red bruise like a raspberry. Act now and the steroid will take out the welling and allow it to heal. JR
