Opinion Please Ginrin Kohaku Tosai

This little guy is only 7" at this time. I am just curious what anyone else thinks about him/her.

Thank you!

Lori Jo

Well, now that you ask.. I find the pattern appealing but I haven't seen the fish in person. The shiroji seems nice and white. I have no idea what to determine about the body.

the reason I ask is because dispite what others think

Your the one that will end up with it in the end should you be persuaded to make a purchase. So I think it's important that you like the fish most of all.
It would make sense if you intended to show it to get some veterans to give their opinion of it's chances. So dispite the pretty pattern you'd probably end up showing it in Gin Rin and you can never really get a feel for the GR quality by looking at a picture.(unfortunately)

Excellent point. Thank you for the feedback. I am just trying to understand what I see -vs- what others see.

one of the problems with GR is

that it must be just as strong going thru the red pattern as well as the white. Sometimes in lesser quality koi, the GR pattern looks soft in places and this is a definite deduct in a critical area. That's why with GR I recommend you see it yourself or have someone you know and trust to buy from so that is not an issue.
