Kin Hi Utsuri are arguably the most successful Hikariutsuri. The red in good specimens
is bright crimson, and while the sumi may be toned down, this
does mean
that any shimis - normally the plague of Hi Utsuri - are less
obvious. The pectoral fins - candy-striped black and white with a golden overlay - can
practically glow.
Head
sumi is not
generally as well defined as in Shiro Utsuri, and dark nostrils on an otherwise all-read head are a common fault.
Summer is biting season, for mosquitoes that is. This is often a concern of pond keepers (or the neighbors of pond keepers). By knowing the facts and control methods, you can better control the mosquito population on your property and reduce the concerns your neighbors may have.
