I think it's a beautiful Shiro Utsuri I like that band across the middle and the nice light line on it's head.

The good thing about this Shiro is it is growing in length first, because if it were the other way around and the girth came up before the length it will look stubby. A good way of building body is to feed alot of carbs!!

The only bad part to this is that if the shoulders do come up the fish will give appearance that the head is too small....

If she is really as long-bodied as she seems in the photo, I like her very much. Pattern may seem inadequate/unbalanced now, but it will be getting better.

I like it. Like the others said, that long body will be great when it puts on more mass later. Clean shiroji, thick tail tube and large pecs.

It's a keeper for me. You want to sell it?
