Mixing koi from different branches of the koi genetic tree produces a bunch of pond mutts. Sanke should be crossed with Sanke, Showa with Showa, Kohaku with Kohaku, Matsuba with Matsuba. Even then you still get a tiny yeild of recognizable babies. You are trying to display recessive genes so this requires line breeding to be somewhat sucessful. Dominant genes are all wild carp like. NOt what you want.
