New measurement at 8 inches, not much growth after 6 months. Probably male...or is it too early to tell?? He/she is very shy since the other kois are much larger. Hopefully will plump up.

Thats much easier to see
The skin looks good and the sumi underneath is clearly there, just not wanting to come out and play just yet. This little guy is gonna make you wait... but good things come to those who wait
