Omosako shiro utsuri

Check out the changes in my shiro utsuri. With the cooler water temperatures in the next few weeks, only betta things ahead. She is Sansai now- I don't have the length but purchased at nisai and 17.5 inches.

For the last three pictures, the temperature was between 78-80 degrees.

Mike . . .

Very nice fish and loved seeing the before/after pix. And when the sumi comes up on the head, even better.

Nice utsuri...I like watching the depth of the sumi improving. Getting better and better.

very nice Mike

good body shape, nice deep black...shiro's like showa often take till 8 years or so to finish up so the face probably will be last....My rule of thumb is the longer it takes to get there the longer it stays there, so with good koi I'd rather have it be a process

I don't mind it being a process but I don't want to wait eight years. By then the rest of the fish will be going downhill. I hope to see a suttle change this Winter.
