The majority of individuals in my Kois sporting one or a combination of 3 traits - black dots randomly distributed on both sides of their body, areas of yellow coloring, and a solid almost crisply de-markated posterior pattern highly reminiscent of a half-black's posterior pattern, will transition out of these characteristics as they grow/mature (certainly well within their first year subsequent to hatching. This means that those "black peppering" randomly distributed dots will disappear; yellows transition into either or a combination of orange-yellow, orange, red-orange; and lastly, 60% to 99% of their initial solid black colored posterior's 1/2 black pattern will disappear. These traits are present in this auction's nickel-to-q uarter sized stock. All 5 are nicely developing their permanent colors and are between phases 2 to 4 (refer to pictorial below).

Of even greater significance is my Kois sporting the half-black pattern that recedes, as darkly marked as they were initially, have all turned out to be heterozygour Kois so far (at least in those that I've kept for breeding purposes). Its nature is still being studied and if possible at all, my goal is to isolate its possible cross-varietal inheritability. Here's a thread that I wrote some time back, : http://www.angelfish.net/VBulletin/showthread.php?t=19262&highlight=homos.

AUCTION STOCK CLIP(WYSIWYG)
finish the entire clip to truly appreciate their colors, especially their red-orange colors that are now developing

HOUSE OF ORANGE KOIS

For those unfamiliar with my Kois, they were developed some 12yrs ago using imported non-Koi bloodlines from Asia and Europe. This means that I developed them independent of existing lineages and to date they remain as 1 of 4 independent Koi lineages in the US. If you�re a Koi enthusiast, you�ll most likely know who the other 3 are (one may have possibly gone extinct, and it ain't mine LOL).

If you�re a casual hobbyist, this won�t matter but if you breed angels, this is significant. They make for perfect outcross resources. Alternatively, they can be used as foundation stock for a Koi breeding probram. It's no wonder why the majority of my Koi customers here and elsewhere are either professional breeders themselves as well as hobbyist-breeders.

Note: Tiger Orange Kois - 3 phases, Vermilion Kois - 4 phases, Sunset Blushings - 2 to 3 (doesn�t have a phase 1 and transitory phases are dependent on whether they came from Tigers or Verms), Vermilion Marble Blushings � 4 (extended color development timeframe compared to any of the above).
