Went thru this batch a few weeks ago and took some pictures while they were .75" to 1" as you can see some of them were showing some Beni that surprised me. This morning they came up a little higher in the water colum was able to take some pictures.

No, it was a Shiro Utsuri spawn but the background on the female oyagoi has to be confirmed, she is owned by a good friend of mine since 2003 and his koi were always purchased from the same breeder so it gives me some relief as to the roots of this koi but knowing who the actual breeder is gives a good piece of mind. Here's a pic of their grandmother owned by me.
male Here's the grandmother of these tosai.

Interesting Orlando
Here are the parent koi that participated in this spawn.
You are correct I will add this the female that took part in this spawn is 16 yrs old what am trying to accomplish is to bring a gene that will bring down the number of deformities by attempting to produce a couple of males that I can cross back with my original Panda Junior female.

Does the Gene have a name? Beautiful parents
Hope, a better way of addressing it would be calling it (the blood line) instead of just the gene.

Or maybe just that matching that male to an unrelated female is likely to produce fewer deformities than matching the grandmother with one of her sons.
The correct or the best term, should have been to bring a different blood line to help and reduce deformities. All take this opportunity to share this piece of information, from the original spawn back in 2017 I only kept to move forward around 1500 fry by the time these little fellas were 6 months old the group was down to 26 fry or Tosai that I could move forward with.
