A new Koi variety Guide with this week BUDO GOROMO and AI GOROMO Koi varieties.
Did you know that Goromo means ‘robed in blue’? And for Budo Goromo the name ‘Blue grapes’ is also used. You can spot that when you look at the red area’s of the Budo Goromo. For a Budo Goromo, this will look darker compared to a Ai Goromo.
On a Ai Goromo it looks like half-moon patterns are visible on each scale, on top of the red markings. You want these Half moon darker patterns visible on each red scale. And you actually don’t want any of these darker half moon patterns to be visible on the white areas.
For any Goromo, Budo or AI, the white should be as white as possible. For a Ai Goromo, when it is young, you want it to look almost like a Kohaku! So actually only red patterns, the white as white as possible and almost no black that is developing. The lighter the black, the better. Black will very easily develop later on and become darker.
In this video I use 3 Budo Gormo and 3 AI Goromo from the Sakazume Koi Farm to explain you the differences and guide you which aspects you should look for during the selection of this Koi variety.
The Koromo variety came to existence by crossing Kohaku with Asagi. The base actually is a white Koi with a red Kohaku pattern on it. But on a Goromo, in the red area’s a black net pattern or reticulation is visible.
