| The Showa above was from Sakuma, I dont think there is anything in this Koi's background that suggested it would lose it's colour, just perhaps stress from the ulcer and being aneathatised perhaps.
Arthur - I also have an Omosako Shiro, specially noted by Takayoshi. Managed to split it's dorsal, so again aneathatised to check. Lost it's colour and is now grey and white. The Shiro is really good, so still have my fingers crossed that the Sumi will return. Sorry no 'after' pics of this one though, just the original for interest. |
