Kohaku with a twist

Budo Goromo starts as a Kohaku, then adds a fine bluish-black scale reticulation over the hi. Where the two overlap, the red darkens into deep grape-purple — the effect that gives the variety its name.

Pattern reading

Judges want an even, well-defined grape overlay confined to the hi — never spilling onto the shiroji. The white ground should stay clean and bright to frame the pattern.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does Budo Goromo differ from Ai Goromo?+

Ai Goromo has a lighter, indigo reticulation over the hi. Budo Goromo goes darker — the overlay reads as purple or near-black clusters.

Is Budo Goromo a good investment fish?+

Quality Budo Goromo from named breeders are relatively rare and hold their value well, particularly if the pattern finishes cleanly with age.
