The trio look amazing when swimming together, I've got a potential decent shiro from byers but definitely need a Shinoda hi . What breeder is your hi mate

Very nice selection there,I have some Aka Matsuba in my grow on from Byer.
They are a good size but the red has to come out more yet.

Yep definitely left like the head pattern

Aka matsuba don't look much until they're older then all of a sudden they look awesome.
I find the same with ochiba. I never understood what people saw in them, then I inherited a big one and now I love them and notice them more as tosai etc.
Aka matsuba definitely on my list. - the scales on that one look like it will.be a stunner.

Nice fish!
I had a doitsu aka bekko, that was about 25 years old when I got it. It was awesome, but only lived a few more years. Certainly unique, never seen another one like it.
