Hi Guys,

They are both three coloured fish but its the Sumi placement that normally gives it away with Sanke having smaller spots of Sumi and Showa having bigger blocks of Sumi. The Showa will also (hopefully) have all three colours on the head where they Sanke doesn't (hopefully).

Sanke - possible stripes in pecs (tejima)
Showa - sumi at the base of the pecs close to the body (motoguru)
