This Koi has lost all of its orange pigmentation over the last two weeks. There is no PB in this line that originally came from Ed who got it from Jon. Scratching my head on this one. There is still a hint of orange around the eyes. huh

I'm not afraid of work.  I can lay down right next to it and go to sleep.

It's actually a young fish. About a half dollar size. These are the 3rd generation so they are pretty inbred.

All of my fish are on Tetra color with frozen foods added a couple of times a week. Also none of his spawn mates have turned white. huh

I think it looks cool.  I like the orange over the eyes. 
Always move forward. Never look back.
