I'd go for the Ai Goromo but then again that may be me being a bit bias as i've got a few sankes like that and I love goromo's though i like them with a little more white showing. It's a tough choice mate.

Neither are of the best quality... if im honest.

But i would take the sanke if i had to. Clear nose, with a lot of underlayin sumi. Shame about the black on just 1 fin.

It could turn out to be a nice fish, but i wouldnt waste my money id look somewhere else.

If you are undecided on a Koi my best advice to you is dont buy it, only buy a Koi if it appeals to you!

Other than that I would have to agree with Welsh Koi.
