NO! Not Total Failure???

Now you guys are really scaring me. After all the time and money invested, I think I would be devestated the first time and be really scared to buy expensive koi again. Any cases of the color coming back stronger than ever? Would a koi in stress be susceptible to this type of phenomenon? I can't imagine that a koi with so much, go totally BLANK. Do you think Japanese breeders get their fair share of disappointments?

I did talk to a close friend who told me his $2 orange pet shop koi went totally white and then slowly developed red patches (rubish kohaku, but kohaku nonetheless). I didn't believe him, I guess I owe him a apology.
