    Is this koi a Showa?


    I have quite a number of these koi with black bases, white and yellow to gold colors that I hope will develops into Beni but I am not quite sure if they are Showa. Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.

    At the moment it is a showa but looking at the beni (red) it is likely this will continue to fade so you may in time end up with a Shiro Utsuri.

    Interesting, I would love to see how they turn out. I have 15 or so of these, some with varying degrees of Beni, sumi and shiro.

    Maybe it will go the other way and become a Hi Utsuri.
