Koi Varieties
Showa Sanshoku

Kohaku and Taisho Sanshoku are almost completely white when freshly hatched. Young fry of Showa varieties (including Showa Sanshoku, Shiro Utsuri, and Hi Utsuri, etc.), on the other hand, are almost completely black when just emerged from eggs.
As days go by, white patterns become visible against the black background, and red markings will soon appear on the white patterns. We should, therefore, say that Showa Sanshoku has a black texture.
