Thanks maurice for your input! I think if done correctly with good water and temps afterwards and great food that a koi can really benefit.

Aquitori- I suspect secondary Hi can be a product of genetics in a pond unfed.
Sensuke bloodline koi have a real propensity to produce that their 2nd and third year.

Conditions of higher PH and certain types of feed can also produce undesired beni.

But since you called it for what you belived it is.....secondary hi....especially since no food is being fed, it's heredity...my best quess.
