The pics I have of the koi are when they were first selected at 8 inches they look a lot different by then , then they do at this Stage.......At this stage for sanke your looking at a mostly orange with heavy black dots over the head and shoulders. The ones that look like kohaku now with tiny black dots don't turn out. A good example is the 4th photo down in the center the bigger baby with heavy orange and black. the black consolodates and the orange emerges with a
beni pattern.

now that Mat is a bonafided advertiser if i can find someone willing to post, I'll forward the pics of the two in the mud now. volunteers?
