| Showas,...
Hi JR, sorry, I'm doing several things at once this morning, not a lot of time. Magoi are also born as black fry, as are several other Koi "types", such as some Chagoi, Koi that become Hajiro, some Goromo, and others. What we see is a root base of the lineage in black fry,... before the more modern "color" genes have had a chance to develop and show. As an example many black Showa fry will turn yellow at around 12 days +.
Best Wishes,
Brady Brandwood
