I remember thinking to myself when your big move provided soft water that you'd have the opposite results you report. Our kh is around 100-150, gh 200-250, ph stable at around 7.8 and the only Kohaku with shimi's is one that had is before it came to our pond. The other has never had any and the beni and shiroji both remain soft and clean. Sumi friendly seems to be the rule of the day when it comes to shiro's as our growout fish is doing great, as are several bekko, so it does make me wonder a bit about the relationships. What seems most effected in our water is ogons of any color.
