Is this a Isa showa or sanke?

[jomoma]

I just got this Isa showa that is also my profile pic and it doesn't have black on it's head. It looks to me more like a Sanke but i double check with Kodama, and they siad it's a showa. what do you guys think?

I will also include a picture of the sanke (the tancho one) I pick up.

Another thing is that kodama siad the showa... is 18.9 inches born in 06 but it's huge it looks 23-24 inches and is at least 6 inches bigger than the sanke i got that was listed at 17.7 inches. I am NOT complianing just passing my suprize on. oh, and it looks about 4 times the girth! it's huge!
thanks

if the breeder says it is a showa than it is a showa.....it is the genetics....there is submerged sumi on the head so it probably will come out...and the sanke is not a tancho but is marutan....becaus of the other red.....the showa will be a killer fish if the sumi comes out across the face....

It's one of those fish that when you see it you're like wow! I can't image how inpressive it will be at 36+ inches which is where it is headed quickly.
