    Question Dainichi Showa

    Hello! My name is Gerard, I live in Spain, and I have bought a "supposedly" Showa from Dainichi ...


    Nisai, 38cm long, and its price 525 €.


    Have I made a good purchase?

    It is a little heavy on the sumi but I would like to see it as a large Koi. I think it might just change nicely but I'm on the fence.

    I like it, bit unbalanced with the sumi as has already been said, but a nice fish, to my eyes anyway.

    What is the meaning of the word "sumi"? Black?


    So a half, is it too black?


    Over time you can separate the color black and return white?

    Thank you.

    Has with all Showas they do develope as they grow

    As Andy has said the koi is unbalanced ... For to much for me personally

    But it is a nice koi which would be interesting to see grow and develope

    Good luck!
