Breeding Goshiki

I am a hobby breeder with some fairly decent breeding facilities at this stage. I most want to breed Goshiki, and have purchased a nice pair on my last trip to Japan. (Hiroi male and Torazzo female) However, the female spawned on arrival here, the other side of the globe, during our mid-winter , which was her Japan Summer! Unfortunately, she does not seen to have eggs now ... (6 months later). She is also young, about 2 1/2 yrs I guess. I plane to spawn in a months time, and want some advice in case she does not spawn.

Question ... I can use the male goshiki for sure, but what is my next best bet for a female. I have a moderate koromo female, 3 yrs old, fat with eggs. I also have a very good female kohaku, from Nasoshi, also with eggs. I also have a few middle of the range kohaku, but would like to use my best Nagoshi female with a Nagoshi male for pure kohaku line in another facility if possible.

What will I get with a Goshiki male and a Kohaku female as opposed to a Goshiki male with a Kokromo female. I dont have any asagi females ready to spawn.

I also have a very full gin suragoi female, about 75 cm amd a good breeder. What would she produce with a male goshiki??

Any advice will be appreciated.
