Male is reverse from otsooka. meaning scale is blue with black edging.
mom is ogata, standard narumi meaning blue scale white edging.


I will get a few few individuals like mom and dad but they usually turn out much better than kind to kind common breeding. trouble with Asagi's is it takes a minimum of three years for selection. that's because the asagi han or blue scale takes that long before it begins to define.

when they're tosai all you have is white/gray koi swimming around with some red on them! the secret to culling is the elimination of those over run with red at this early stage!
