Pick the shiro

[jnorth]

Ok so I decided to do a little experiment over the next year or two. I thought I would get some shiros with differing motoguro and see what happened with it. So with that said I was looking motoguro when I picked these...but that doesn't mean we can't rip em apart and make predictions on what the future holds for them . The best part is I will have all of them for quite some time so we will be able to see how our predictions on pattern and conformation etc turn out. They are all Omosako and came from one of sponsers (Mystic Koi). As for the experiment I will be posting stuff on that every few months on my personal website.

Off the top of my head, I like #5, #3, and #4 in that order. I'd be surprised if #3 keeps all that sumi. #1 and #2 will be good lessons on motoguro.

This should be fun. Thanks for sharing this experiment Jim.

I like #5 , then #1 , 1 seems smaller then the rest .

I would be very happy to take #5 off your hands ?

I guess it is , I just looked at the group pic.

This will be fun Jim, You with Shiro's....Mickey with ochiba, myself with goshiki.....ought to be able to learn something along the way. must be nice to have Bill as a source of Omosako shiro's.......I quess it always comes down to who you know almost as much as what you know...LOL

I love the last pictured koi as the one I would select if i was choosing for myself. (far right)

Boy, I was having a tough time deciding between #1 and #5. Then I took another look and I decided I would take #1. I think #5 is a male and might look better in the short haul but I think #1 is female and will end up the best in the long haul

We might learn something hehe . Bill always has some Omosako shiros hanging around...the tough part is getting there when they come in from Japan to get the best selection!
