Goshiki was so named because it was fancifully explained as being five colors.....
white red black grey and blueish.
This koi pictured is in transistion to becoming a goshiki, and so it is hard to determine. earlier in it's life Grant you'd have pulled your hair guessing what it was cause it would look like a kohaku with the ever so lightest grey in the white parts, just enought to let you know " that ain't NO Kohaku " !
In another year or so it'll blacken up where there won't be any doubt. Like the little guy you have pictured on your avitar, it takes awhile till you know what is gonna happen with the black.
