Better than describing with words. Check out this you tube video channel of Japanese Farm/Breeder explaining how things are done in Japan I think... :D

I am not Top view fan but this is the one fish that I can thoroughly enjoy both from top and side view...

So Dan, Gary and John with "open arms and empty tank" I would gladly accept something like this little guy if you ever wish to donate something like it to me... ha ha ha... :D

This guy has really nice fish and he posts new ones regularly. I'm one of his subscribers on youtube.

People say that you get quality fish from roughly 10% of a typical spawn. Quality sarasa (red & white) is just 10% of that, so fish like this is pretty rare.

Paul currently has a fish similar to that piece in his collection, although the tail is not as nice.

This gentleman is a breeder. Has a shop. Market growth medication. And also take part in competition... I am not sure if he is a Judge though coz I don't understand a word of what he is saying... :D

I'd love to acquire fish of similar caliber, just don't have any opportunity here in the US. Self-import would cost too much and way too risky for a mere hobbyist like myself.

I agree with Suphi........ One of the caliber PLUS sarassa marking, tough get. I have one Itoh male with excellent type/hood with great sarassa marking, and he is never leaving my tubs. LOL
