Rorschach for sure! both for me and for Shawn, I think the balance is good on this fish there is room for development without getting too busy, and the uniqueness of the pattern on this fish is something I would love in my pond. It was the fist thing I saw when I saw the three of them together
+toyspeed71 Give me a time. My Friday has me running like crazy in the field but would love to meet with you. I will be in house all day Saturday if that makes a difference!
I would like to see a video showing the difference between " Doitsu Kokury , Kin Kikokuryu , Shusui or Dragon Kikokuryu , Ki Shusui , & Mirror carp , all in one video , and what are all color pattern types are Dragon Koi have ? .
I loves this (and all of the other) series of discussion. I believe that Shawn would choose #1 for a competition, because of its traditional markings, but ... If he was selecting one for his personal collection, it would be that gorgeous fish with the powerful soba sumi (sp?) on its shoulders and that fantastic red horseshoe - #3. Just a wild guess. Lol!
I think Shawn is always looking for the quality with traditional thoughts (old school) but tempered with a modern (new school) flare for the unusual. #3 War Shark! "Let me see your War face!"
Woh, this is a little hard... I'm thinking Shawn may pick 2 or 3.? I guess because: when 1 grows out some more the beautiful pattern on back may not be enough; 2 because it's pattern is more traditional than 3, but Shawn may pick 3 "War Shark" because it's unconventional unique rad pattern (and attitude to match!) ;) I feel like I'm writing an essay for class. Lol. I kept it as short as I could. ^_^ P.s. I pick Koi 3 for pattern and personality! I really like Doitsu koi!
+alex barbosa wikipedia.org/wiki/Rorschach_test Pretty sure that is what he was talking about. I thought he said war shark at first too! Dr. Evil style hahaha
Not an easy one here. I think that fish 3 will be chosen, like the horse shoe pattern. The black and red to the back of the fish has an nice spread. Fish colors just look well balanced all over.
+Rod Worx SA I agree the group is well balanced. That's what makes it hard but educational to listen to Shawn decide his favorite choice. Thanks for participating.
+mdawsss18 Thats a great question. Simply put the Showa is a black fish with red and white color. A Sanke is a white fish with black and red color. Show should have black in the face and sanke shouldn't. Thanks for participating.

#2 is my pick. Was my favourite from the moment it was first put into the blue bin before they started talking; it called to me.
+JoiIsakYT I love it when koi call to people! Thanks for watching!
Haha same way I felt!
Shawn would select #2 & I love #3....looks like a piece of art
+TheHandofMan Yeah I love them!

+Kweli Walker Great comment. Thank you for participating! Stay tuned!
I think Shawn would pick three and i also would pick number 3 just because of the horse shoe pattern and the way the black looks. Great fish!!
+tratos1 I thought you might like this new format! Thanks for participating.
do they have scales?
how much for the doitsu sanke 2 year koi
+Feraz Sahabdool I don't remember the price on this. My guess is somewhere around 300 to 500 US dollars.
number #3 all the way.-he's perfect!
I like #2 and I think Shawn does too. They are all very beautiful though!
+Phil Shull Are't they gorgeous! Stay tuned for Shawn's pick!

Thinking Shawn might pick #3 but I like #1.

+495theking Thanks for watching!
I think Shawn would pick number 3, and I love number 3
I think Shawn is always looking for the quality with traditional thoughts (old school) but tempered with a modern (new school) flare for the unusual. #3 War Shark! "Let me see your War face!"
+D S Koi What a great comment. I think you are right!

I think Shawn is going to pick #1. I like #2.
I love #3. I like the horse shoe pattern and its paler face.
+Jonathan Mora yes it is a flattering koi.
I think each fish has something beautiful, I particularly like 3.
+mammav2 Good selection.
fish 2 for me ... whats the difference between a Sanke and a Showa?
+mdawsss18 Thats a great question. Simply put the Showa is a black fish with red and white color. A Sanke is a white fish with black and red color. Show should have black in the face and sanke shouldn't.
Thanks for participating.
My favorite was number 3.
+Kaleb Moore Good selection. Stay tuned!
I like 3 the patterning will grow
+Alexander Pas Thanks for participating!
so have to say the colors remind me of the really big jawbreakers and make me smile
