I know this one will be tore apart LOL. Is it a Tncho or is it a Showa? Origionally when I got it it was a Tancho Bekko male that is 16-18" Now he has developed little spots of hi everywhere like someone splattered paint. I did use him in a breeding with a couple of Kohaku's and right now I have to say the Tancho spot pulled thru nicely and quite a bit of Hi not much sumi shoing thru yet they are all under 5"

Lokks like a very poor Tancho.... The tancho spot is not a sircle its a god knows what. The stray hi is just flat out ugly ! If the stray hi would disapear its wouild be alot nicer.

I'd call this a Tancho Sanke but really its just a Sanke. If the bits of Hi fade away, then it will really be a Tancho Sanke.

The spekling just showed up within the last couple of months since I got him. I picked him because I could tell the sumi was coming out and it looked like he had potential. since then the hi appeared and the sumi has not truly developed. I hope after having him a year it will disapear (the hi) and the sumi will fill in better. Especially since the hi is much lighter than the tancho spot. I took this photo on july 25th and I should take another one soon to compare it too there has been a difference in the colors. I forgot when I asked if it was a showa that showa were the sumi bodied fish with shiro and hi markings I am still learning.:yes:

Could the speckling be from water differences. I bought him in Washington after he was imported from Japan?Then he was put on good old fashion Portlnd city water? Why I ask is I have had speckling before.
