How does 2 inch Showa Koi looks like?
Showa koi are black, white, and red. It takes a while for the fry to develop their permanent color. Showa koi are typically called “black fish with red and white markings.” This is because the Showa koi’s base color (the color of the belly, the mouth, and the base of the pectoral fins) is black. — copied that from this website –> http://www.rothteien.
