not opened wide, and positioned abit too high

Head is good(flat).Hump is good (high, and head wedged into hump).Mouth is good (pointing down).
Tail,colouration and scales so-so.

Overall good lah, nice catch.

head
hump:excellent,well demarcated
dorsal:erect.
body:solid
colour/pattern;acceptable
tail:much to be desired.Appear folded and unbalance
scalation:looks untidy
swimming: may appear to struggle becos of uneven tail,may not carry itself well.

overall:just above average

am I going to say something against you guys ? ok ...
major flaw : one side of the tail is higher than the other side. tail folded.
body seems ok, head so so.
Swimming head downward thrust. closed tail, not graceful.

Overall, below average.

Overall I'd say you've got a great specimen, very desirable to have. Hump is good nice belly and looks very healthy. very nice.
