Sanke or Showa?

Sanke for me.

Sanke for me bros

If showa, I'll look for "wrap around" sumi.. this koi also has thick shoulder sumi.. so its a Sanke for me!

Another teaser here...

Just for a matter of discussion.. My new koi.. showa or sanke II?

p.s. bros who know the answer, keep to yourselves k? we'll evaluate for all to learn later!

It's a Taisho Sanke.

The sumi in the pectoral fin is stripy rather than block.

The sumi on the head is not patchy enough.

The sumi on the body does not wrap around the body.

My 2 cents.

Any potential in these 2 pcs?

Hi Bro, thanks for the feedback. Learnt a bit more over the last few days from both forum and farm owner. I am contented on my piece as a sanke.
Btw, can you give me some comments on my Kohaku? I don't know much about the pattern selection but took this pc for its body as I think it's quite good for a 2 month old fish.

As for your video, first look like sanke. But I would conclude it as a showa from what I learnt the past few days

for your inazuma kohaku, first i would like to said is it has a very nice shiroji, hi is evenly toned just that the kiwa of the ending portion of the hi is not so sharp, sashi wise if let said it not more that 1 and 1/2 scale more will be good( hard to see from the pic). It will look better in future when it bodyline open when it reach certain length thus showing more of the shiroji from the side.

Ohhh...this can be considered as inazuma formation?? Thought inazuma must show more 'lightning' pattern....maybe will show out better when reach 25-30cm

Showa for me.....

showa IMO.

For your sanke/showa and kohaku, i would pay more attention to their body conformation when rearing them.
