Dick and anyone who ever bred metalic koi

Hope you have time to answer some of my questions regarding the culling of Kujaku,Kikisui and Hariwake.At what size do you do you're first culling and what did you look for?
I do subscribe to Koi-Bito and read in an article Kaneko says you should look for Kujaku fry with a bluish black on the head and very strong Hikari. I would prefer to wait for some form of pattern before culling so small and guessing which to keep. I recon with Hariwake a form of pattern can be seen quite early and I should cull them for pattern and Hikari only.I heard that in Kikisui the red can come later, is this true?

I would appreciate if any of you can find the time to give me some pointers and secrets Please

Best wishes,
