Yayyy.... my first black koi guppy has developed. In koi terms, I could call him a Shiro Utsuri.
Proud of the result...!

Pictures from the side?

Is it black and white, or black all over?

What does Shiro Utsuri mean?

I'll make pictures of the side tomorrow. Shiro Utsuri is a combination of a black base with white patches in koi.
Over here one of mine.

And over here a Shiro Utsuri ginrin. This is one with iridescent scales.

And over here two Shiro Utsuris (an adult female and a male that is developing more black) that are swimming pass eachother.

Beautiful! We're missing a side photo!

It's a color pattern View attachment 157616
Correct. But with black as a base and white patches.
 
Very nice! What is the difference between Shiro Utsuri and Shiro Bekko?

Shiro Utsuru is black based with white patches. Shiro Bekko is white based with black patches.

Sometimes it's hard to tell wether it's a Shiro Utsuri or a Shiro Bekko. For there are also Shiro Utsuris that show first more white than black. But if you look very good, you can see the black underneath the skin.

Ah ok! That’s very cool…
