Regards to: will sumi come back

OK her is my story: I bought a 9 inch utsuri that had the blackest sumi running down the dorsal area with the rest a pure white. I bought her because she looked so different.
She grew very fast to 22 inches in 2 1/2 years. Picture one shows her at about 3 years old. Picture two shows her at 3 1/2 years old. Picture three and four shows her at now 5 years old. As you can see she is a totally different fish than what I had bought. I know that sumi is the most unstable color but this is ridiculous.regards-will-sumi-come-back-1.jpg

Not only did she lose her sumi, it looks like she turned into a he.

Yi: Very nice. The motoguro should consolidate some more over the next growing season. She is becoming a striking koi.

Mike: I really like this one myself. She is now full of expectation. By the way, she is another example of chinese domestic breeding. Her parents are all from
Omosako.
