Thanks Dick...I always like to have a few butterfly koi..just for effect, not competition. I have a rule about my pond that I have learned over the last 6 years....If it can turn black, it will turn black!!! I'm not sure what it is about my water that causes this..but it never fails. It is good when you want a dramatic, coal black sumi...but it is lousy when a copper kikokuru turns all black. I have to also be careful about the head of an asagi or shusui...if its not perfectly flesh colored when young...it will become black. I kept this rule in mind when picking that kumonryu. Hopefully its pattern will hold.
