Since I received the pictures, I have talked to him, He sent the fish to University Of georgia to Vicki, she is going to run test on it to verify what it is and also to be able to tell him how it contracted Hikkui if that is what it is, from my understanding she will be able to determine what virus caused this... Has anyone heard of any test that can be done to determine what virus causes Hikkui? Is this a new medical break through?

After speaking to him, I suggested he contact JR or Thomas Blischok, I sure hope he followed my advice, as I think he may be seeking answers in the wrong direction.
NANCY,
Thanks for posting this photos of your friends Ogata kohaku. Those were the same problem that I have with my ogata collection whether it is a koahku, sanke or showa.
Michael
