As the breeder, Ellen put this Asagi in to her Ellen's Picks category for several reasons. First, it meets the standards for the Asagi variety. The blue reticulated scales are perfectly aligned and color is consistent throughout. The koi's head is a clean and clear Shiroji color. And, the symmetrical pectoral fins display Motogoro of beni coloration that extends upward on both cheeks. This masterpiece Asagi will be a centerpiece of any koi collection.
