    Is it that 48cm nisai from Exclusively Koi? Stunner, I had been looking at that and pondering whether to buy, guess my mind has been made up for me. Gutted I messed about and didn't just go for it!
    Said gender unknown, do you think it's female? Looks like it could be, nice body shape a good tail tube.

    Yep he is! I’ve pondered for months, one of those that is just as good in the flesh and actually over 50 cms. (He’s a confirmed male btw) such a good body shape. He does have a friend..

    Very nice friend as well!
    Not being female would have made no difference to me, the shape, the pattern and what looks like very good skin quality in the video and picture makes it look a good price for what you got. Did you see it in the flesh before purchase or take a punt on the website? I've had several from Kev at Exclusive, a few bigger nisai and several tosai to grow on, never been let down. Just wish they were closer so I could visit.

    Lovely fish! I got my Gin Rin Asagi from Kev, 50cm nisai and won it for £210 on auction. Far from the cleanest Asagi you'll ever see with the beni creeping up near the tail a little but the gin rin is stunning and one I am really pleased with.

    Took a punt, had a few off Kev, I thought from the pics it was female but in the flesh more obvious a male, but I think he’s a bodybuilder . The skin is amazing, got a very good price too. I’ve looked at him for months, suprised he was still available.

    tbh the other one he has is equally as good

    Presuming the spongebob bacteria doesn’t do for him I’ll grow him on and sell to you (for a healthy profit of course)

    That's really nice.

    Would have guessed at female too.
