My New Eastern showa tosai

After Scott wanted to participate in the showa growout and picked out his fish, I started feeling 'left out' so when arranging shipping with Eastern, I went to Ken's other showas offered on his website and got one for me!

Here she is at 12". Ken thought female and so do I after last night's inspection. Bright beni, nice sumi coming in right places, motoguro. This is gonna be fun to watch 'his n her' showas grow up.

Whatcha think, Nancy? Etal?

nice white nose and I like the kiwa. The hi looks to be great (like all these fish from the growout), and the sumi looks to be coming up nicely....

nice pic(k)!

You better stick by a fellow gal's side, Nancy! LOL
Yep, this one has the tight, tight motoguro on both pecs. When she fills out a bit, I think body will look very nice.

Dr. Bob, thanks for the 'in the lead' vote! I know Scott can pick showa much better than I at this small stage - to see into future. But, the proof is in the growth and future development; we shall see what happens.

Just to keep the thread info updated -mid August, sumi was up on head/face a bit more, and all three colors looked strong to me.
So I took this koi to our RMKC Show August and it took best in variety at 13".
Ken has a good eye.

She has a very nice body, nice 3 step pattern, the sumi looks like it will be in all the right places and the shiro looks bright.

Ya did good, girl! Now, go get the Orange Cremes!

Seems I always owe Nancy, Ken and Houng orange cremes and more because they are very helpful. There are nice folks all over in the koi hobby!
