OK very recently I've come accross these and would like to learn about a few things
I noticed on the magoi showa I saw that the colors are very bright and they have a different look to them compared to other normal showas...why? How do they get magoi fish anyway? Does it mean they literally take a wild carp and breed it to a koi, or use a karasu or even a dark chagoi as a 'magoi'? I would think the addition of a common carp would scramble up the genetics so you'd get a bunch of mutts with a few koi-ish looking fish mixed in, so how does it happen? Curious here
