I have a male Sanke that developed secondary Hi right where an Odomo had existed. It appeared around age 5 and has gradually intensified, but remains weak compared to the rest of the Hi on the fish. A definite distraction and really hurts the fish IMO. At first I hoped it was just the result of spirulina and would fade when no longer fed food with added carotene, etc.; but, it has not faded. No matter the season, the food, etc., it is there and I think it is going to stay just so I mentally flinch when I see it. (It is a fish I cannot part with because beloved by a family member ... of course.)

I've not read much about secondary Hi, so I'm not comfortable speculating about it.
Thx Mike. Same here, can't let it goes cause it was a gift for my BD. Here is the pix that I just took it directly from my pond few minutes ago at night after
reading your post.
