is this showa or sanke?
With thick black bands extending up from the bottom of the koi, wrapping around and substantial sumi on the head … definitely showa.
I will call her foxy Showa.
Showa for sure. Seems the sumi is thick and the beni is fading. How big is the fish?
the fish is close to 12''
it is definitely a sanke. I do not know what those other posters see?
((Hint: I enjoy arguing)
"Those aren't poodles. They're Dobermans with afros."
Sumi on the pectoral fins wrapping back up to the body typicly means that the fish is a showa
Sanke will commonly have some sumi on the fin to show that it is sanke but a sanke pectoral Sumi appears in small strips and does not cover the whole fin.
