right, if we 'deconstruct' these fish we have :

- a black based fish- very old variety based in the karsu clan.
- an asagi based fish with white genes 'invading' the asgai pattern.
- a genetic 'hat trick' of sorts where a white based fish has remnants of asagi and a dorsal kohaku pattern.

The reader should know that in most white based spawns of high class goromo and goshiki the siblings can be both ai goromo and/or modern goshiki. The only difference is where the asgai scalation effect appears ( pattern or on shiro group) and to what extent the scalation covers the fish in general. Many of the ai goromo will actually become modern goshiki as the fish grow and the asagi effect spreads from confinement within the red pattern to the white body. Look to the beni color tone and any hints of 'bluish' skin to try and predict what might happen.
