The sumi in the right light appears brown due to the beni overlapping the sumi, just as you suggested. Here is a shot as a youngster, I' ll see if I can get a more recent one as the fish is now well over 10.
CAn this showa turn out to look like yours with some shite spots on it's back?
Now she is about 30CM.
How did your's look when younger?
