Brian: You have observed "Some Karashi when small have and outline of faint sumi on the very edges of the fins, which resembles what you can see on...

Hi Mike, None of the other male parents have any GR in their background, at least that I'm aware of. It really struck me as odd as well, but I...

Well, Brian, I hesitate to venture a guess, except that the tosai with pattern came out of the Kohaku or Goshiki crosses, and most likely Kohaku if...

Hello Lunven, Sorry it took me a while, but wanted to welcome you to the forum!

Congrats, on getting that one, Alex. She is definitely among the best looking of the koi labeled Nanashigoi that I've seen. ....There are hints that...

Mike, I understand what you mean, but in fact, the name Nanashigoi translates literally to 'koi without name'…Considering how many different variants...

Hi Alex, Thank you (and welcome to KB) very much for your detailed post on Konishi's work with Karashi. I've seen Martin's videos on Youtube and...

female HIROI doitsu showa with 2 male doitsu showas and one beni kumonryu , I was very surprised as well that I got some doitsu KI UTSURI

Thanks!! next year Im doing more doitsu, but I will also use my female kumonryu with male Kikokuryu ...

Hello Brian, please would you accept to keep us informed of the Karashigoi hybrids' evolution? I would like to see the results of such crossbreedings...

Thanks for posting about these, Alex. Everybody likes to see photos of nice koi. Telling about their breeding and development of varieties, however,...

The female is a lighter type from Marudo, and the male darker type from Konishi. I have a mix of the two with some like the mother, some like the...

Please do. There are multiple discussion topics in these crosses! ....Hope you get some truly yellow-hued Karashi. They seem more rare than I had...

Hi Mike, It certainly is a lot of fun, and am experimenting with ways to make it work with less labor to suit my situation. The Goshiki was...

Definitely looks like fun! Using the Karashi has my interest. But, Karashi crossed with Goshiki??? That seems to me to be a real mix-up of...

There is no easy way when the fish are young. Even the most experienced breeders guess wrong with tosai. With older, well-fed koi, it is usually...

Bumping up.
