| While do some other catching, managed to net this over the weekend. This fish started out as orange / white and black, and I have had it since November last year. It has grown considerably and is now around 35cm long. The amazing part is all the orange is disappearing, still a few small marks on the belly, what do you think?   |

| Paul mentioned the other day that red can dissappear very quick on doits kois. Your koi looks very healthy. |

| Difficult to see if it is really metallic, and if metallic, it appears to be quite a dull metallic.
If not metallic, it is rather a beni kumonryu. |
