A calico which is about 6 - 7 inches in size

Nice color, but belly so out of proportion. The stomach is so distended that I find it disgusting. I imagine it to be grossly overfed and it pushed the anal fins out of place.

I know many people do not mind this look, but I think the 1 to 1 body length to height ratio is considered ideal for a reason.

I like this fish very much for some reason. The colouration is very even and the very deep body makes it look intimidating.

I agree with demdamdemekins that the body is too "tall" for a ryukin. I love this fish for the upper part of its body. But lower part is too much, making the belly set too low. Looks awkward to me.

there is a difference between trying to grow a fish fast, and trying to blow up a fish

will those scales on the calico ryukin lower their value?
thanks
