Hi Del,

I think its 2 as it looks a cleaner fish with nice clean fins and it looks like better quality skin but they're both nice fish :D

I'm a real novice, but I too went for no.2 because the head is clean as are the fins and the skin quality looks good, and the pattern - to my eye is clearly marked.

Just my thoughts :lol:

Well for Me Del. There is no competion I would pick Koi 2 all day long. Its hard to say just from a picture but it looks to have better skin quality and body shape. What You can see from a photo, is it has a better Kohaku pattern than one with both good Kiwa, where the red overlays the white. And Sashi where the white overlays the red. . It also has a good Bekko pattern with very bold clean Sumi markings. A good Sanke should be both a Good Kohaku and a good Bekko. The main thing that no one else has mentioned yet is the head pattern of Koi 1. Idealy Sumi on a Sanke should stop at the shoulders. The Beni should stop at the eyes to reveal clean Muji to the nose and Mouth. Displayed nicely in Koi 2.
For Me Koi 2 just gives a better picture of a good Sanke, where as Koi 1 is a little messy but far from finished, So that will change.
If it was My money it would be Koi 2

I've gone for number one cos everyone else is going for no 2. :D

When the black (Is it sumo? I'm dyslexic in Japanese :shock: ) finally matures it'll be a stunner.

Anyway,if it loses,can I have it :?:

No.2 for me too. You won the lottery or something Del, buying the house next door to build a 16000G pond in the garden then buying up all these great fish!

Cracking pond and fish mate, keep the pictures coming :D
