Hi Guys

The intensity of the yellow is poor. I expected it to disappear much sooner. You can see it has lost some of its intensity. I do not expect it will keep the ki. I agree that this is an ugly looking fish. No doubt. But it is kept only for the ki. Good or bad, it is the only yellow in a non-metallic fish that I am aware of. I have only ever seen ki in shusui before this one. The parents of this fish are both showa. So this was a one off throwback, rather than an intentional result. I do not have a photo of the female as she is now pased. I have attached the male used. All other siblings have deeping stable hi.

JR, I would follow your suggestion about using a ki-goi. But we dont have any other these either. I just do not have ki-anything to choose from except for paladin's metallic suggestion.
