First culling Kuyjaku and Orenjihariwake Spawn 6/30/13

Hello from Mountaintop Koi! Today we culled the spawning of our Orenjihariwake and the Kuyjaku male, now basically what a Orenji style koi is basically a metallic orange style Kohaku (Kohaku has a white base with a red Hi-pattern usually sorted into steps which are breaks in the Hi the best steps usually range from 1-4 steps.). A Kuyjaku is basically a Orenji with a matsuba pattern (Which is a kind of speckle over the back, but are individual black scales.) Examples:

(Domestic Kuyjaku top. Domestic Orenjihariwake bottom.)

On that cull there was nothing really special about the cull the fry only showed a orange base and nothing out of ordinary, we are expecting a small spot to appear on some of there heads to give an idea of what is Kuyjaku and what is Orenji. Some fish show signs of sheen like it has a metallic Orenji base. We culled out the deformities and Tobis and threw the Tobis and some deformed into the Tobi pond.
