| I can post photos!!! Here is the champion Sanke I mentioned above. Note how little Hi is on her right side. As tosai, she would have looked 'unbalanced'... too much shiro. I don't think 'drop dead gorgeous' is an overstatement. |

| excellent example. And yes, for my untrained eye, I would have passed on this koi. I wonder if the sumi was visible deep down as tosai... I really appreciate the well thought out explanation with regards to the breeders selecting what will stay, what will go, etc. I think sometimes I get too wrapped up in the subtle elegance of koi keeping and forget its a huge industry, feeding a lot families. Great example, and a great fish. Thank you Mike. Grant |
