Matt, I missed your post. i forgot i started a new thread here. Pls. cross those fish you cited. I said in one of these posts that i was floored when I found out that Ogon is a metallic fish. I think this is not obvious on doitsu ogon and i have stayed away from metallic with my ki shusui project because A. Hariwake killed the program for a while, and because B. shusui is not metallic and i am imposing shusui show standards on ki shusui. Asagi is a different story. Last year, i pulled an asagi from the Learning Curve Pond that seemed metallic. Lest we forget. i am still a relative noob. First Japanese koi bought in a shopping frenzy in 2009. (!!!) Again, please spawn those asagi x yellow ogons. If I had more water, I would try. I cannot imagine how this could not produce ki asagi. I looked up ki asagi on my browser, and I found nothing. I love my ki asagi, "Thellonia," to pieces. She is a flock spawn accident. I say, do it on purpose!
