Most fallen leaves' patterning was developed from a kohaku parent. beni is always vulerbable to high PH so I would rather doubt that the pattern would return when you get your water stabilized.
There are many reasons why you wouldn't want to keep your PH in the range the water company delivers it, so you'll have to be comitted to adjusting it
