It's okay to have help, as long as they are qualified to do so (in your opinion). I know the dealer pretty well. He has a very good eye and a high level of knowledge. Plus, Ken is just an all around nice guy. You'll just have to wait and see about the odome hi plate. It is usually the last beni that develops anyway. I just felt it should have been a little better at this point, that's all.

You're right to an extent. But, remember, just about everyone here will tell you, buy from a breeder YOU CAN TRUST!!

That is not Ken's showa, but I do recognize Tom L. shoes in the picture, those are Champion Nishikigoi fish.

Those are good Showas, aren't they !!
I believe that you are going to enjoy it for a long long time.

Nancy is correct that this one came from Tom @ Champ Koi. I'm impressed that she can recognize him by his shoes.

I'm still interested in hearing feedback from others regarding this Showa. I want to learn what others think her pro's and con's are.
