Things are coming along nicely . Not only the Utsuri patterns but some of the yellow seem to be "pinking" a bit. Culling the deformities soon will free up more of your live food for the better prospects to grow and develop on . Looks like you're going to have an interesting mix of kohaku and utsuri, along with a few unexpected surprizes . I would also expect to see some sanke and showa patternts emerge within the month.
