Do not be unduly concerned by the light "outlining" of the scales in the Hi on Brady's fish. It is often an indication of immature Hi in his breeding, not fading/weakness. There is a softness to the Hi on his fish that gives an impression of velour... that can become velvet as the fish matures. He produces a different Beni, has a different vision. His fish do not get the "big-boned" angularity of the some of the Japanese lines. Instead, there is a supple, softness that makes his koi unique.
