Individual with silver-white gill covers and lips.
Four jikins, the fish at top right having excess red body coulouration and illustrating how very difficult it is to achieve the ideal standard. In Japan, near-perfect jikins are sometimes 'made' perfect by removing a few unwanted red body scales at a time, and these grow back silver-white. (Do not try this at home!).
