you might want to consider using this koi as a breeder next year, Put him together with a kohaku female with a deeper bennie wrap. I think of all the color varieties, as this one is the hardest to breed. over the years i've had a love affair with many different color varieties but something about sanke always keeps then dear to my heart.

What is the genetic milkshake that created your Sanke spawn?

Very nice for a home grown.

Slow growing and slender. The growth seems to be very compatible with the pattern, as it seems to stretch to fit at each stage without any breakup whatsoever. Nice work, especially when you consider the fact you boys down under haven't had access to fresh Japanese blood to work with in so many years. I'm with Dick. Try to keep this one in the working genepool

Here is a pic of the male parent kohaku, at age of 9 years.

Here is a picture of the female parent, sanke taken a few years ago. I do not know her age.

Great minds think alike. I have this female and expect to pair them over the next few years.

thanks for posting the parent pictures! I like the female sanke a lot as being a nice type to work with.
