Koi Types
Sumi Goromo
Some Goromos have a black shading instead of a blue shading
over their Hi pattern. These are
somewhat rare and if you see one with a
nice pattern, you should get it. The skin should
be a nice white color and
the pattern should have crisp edges.
What makes an Sumi Goromo?
Goromos were created by accident. How? A breeder was breeding
Goshikis and a goshiki with a white
background and a net pattern on the Hi
appeared. This Koi was carefully bred and now we have the Goromo variety.
