Koi colour
Hi all, picked up this 8inch koi a few weeks back. I'm trying to learn about how colours change as they grow. I can see some blue behind the head which I think might change to black, any thoughts?

Yeah looks like it has some underlying sumi (black) which will possibly push up over time, how long is the question though! I have a Showa with underlying sumi that is slowly coming through and has been for 4 years now but still not out!

Do you think the existing red and black will stay or is it just a guessing game at this point?

Sam knows his stuff taught me a lot . In my eye the BENI (red ) should stay the same and the sumi (black) that is underlining could possibly turn out some this like what I've drawn in yellow. . No certaintys but that's what I believe could end up like Originally Posted by 6044jason
