| Hi Chris,
I reckon it would lose the tancho spot and become a Shiro Utsuri.
Would say it could be a pretty decent SU if that sumi is to come out on it's nose leaving some shiro to break it up in place of where the beni is now. I'd like to think theres too much black in the pectorals and tail.
Otherwise I think it's nice

| Hi, Bought at the SAKKS show last year in March: 18 - 20cm in length Same fish one year later now 42cm  It just shows you how difficult it is to predict the development of a koi. Regards, Chris |

| I thought that when hi \ beni is gone it's gone.......so would this not be a Beni Matsukawabaki?
I'm amazed to see the hi\beni that resurfaced on this fish.....is this a 1 in a million chance or is this normal???

| hmmm... some serious photo shopping going on here. lol
ive never ever seen that before. In 99.999999999999'% of the time the fish would have lost the red mark and changed into a shiro utsuri.
I liked it better when it was small. |

| It seems like pigmentation can be more sensitive on some koi than on others. I had a client that wanted a black koi. I got him 2 black koi's from a friend in East London and brought them down to quarantine for him. 30 min in quarantine (QT tank is white) the one was a greyish/blue ochiba and the other was a ginrin chagoi with a light brown colour to it.
After 3 weeks I moved them from the quarantine tank to another pond with black on the inside and within 20min these fish were pitch black again!!
