How about this Sanke?

What do you think about the future of this Sanke? It is 32 months old and is from Dianichi. Do you think any more sumi will come up or is what you see is what you get just maybe it will get stronger.
Also what about the Hi and the shiro? Skin Quality? Body? Etc

Just my opinion because I don't know much about Sanke. If this is a female, at 32 months it seems like it would have more girth. I like the shape of the pecs but I thought Sanke had sumi in their pecs??

The skin looks great from the picture and I like the pattern. I think I see more sumi to the left rear of the dorsal fin.

Overall I really like be to fish.


( with all these Japanese terms, this was really interesting trying to write this with voice recognition software)

The sumi should get stronger and often more sumi appears. Where and when become a real question. For this age the fish is small but seems in very good shape-nice white and body shape.

I like your sanke quite a bit. I think it has a nice body shape, pretty pecs, nice beni, potentially excellent shiroji. I can't tell the quality of the existing sumi but I don't believe you will see anymore appearing than what you have now. Rudimentary, I know but if you break the koi into thirds the tail section is weakest. I say enjoy the koi as it developes. Don't be in a hurry to "off it" but just see how the sumi refines in conjunction with the body shape. Do I ever think it will take GC in a major show, probably not...but I do think it's a worthwhile koi to enjoi and watch develop. Thanks for posting
