These scary tales may not be quite what I had in mind, but they sure are interesting.

Bob: I had a Goshiki turn into a "not even white" muji some years ago. It happened when antibiotic food was being fed because one fish had injured itself and I thought I was being careful. I later came to appreciate that antibiotics can be risky. Another Goshiki sibling was unaffected. I've wondered if the antibiotic contributed to the color loss. Your tales make me wonder about it again. You mention anesthesia, but I'm guessing an antibiotic was used too.

Dale: Your story is really scary. ...Maybe the title of this thread should be changed to "Koi Horror Tales". Curious that the fading began at one end and proceeded along to the other end. I usually think of all the Hi being affected at the same time.
