Quick update on my showa. She is now 61cm comming out of winter and heading into summer. Slow movement on the sumi but steady.
Just a quick update on this showa. Not the fastest grower but I'm loving the journey. Now close to 72cm and I think 4.5 years old. I think 2 or 3 more years for the sumi to complete?
Nice...coming along and looks excellent!! I really like where it is going. Really improving well, nice thick body. Good job!!
Yes. Two more years ...if the sumi is going to finish. It has consolidated over the red pigment where it was splotchy in the past. So, it is still developing. I would not mind a Boke patch behind the head, but it would be undesirable for show.
The little freckles of beni on the face are an unfortunate development. Consider not using any color food, or pellets with spirulina or shrimp/krill. They may go away. It is impossible to match a specific diet to each fish in one pond.
