Traits

• Koi should be hard-edged and rounded - it does not need to be circular, but shouldn't be sharp-edged. The spots should be medium- to large- in size, with overlapping spots very common.
• Recessive Koi can either be lighter or darker than the base coat, or a color taken from the swatch of any base coat. Two of these options can be chosen on the same Ixi, and they may blend together on the same spots in a gradient or be separated into their own spots.
• Dominant Koi can optionally take on a presentation considered "Inverted Koi". The base coat can be changed to any other base coat as desired, with a free gradient allowed - the gradient must be within that base coat unless altered by another marking. (Having the Gradient marking in the genotype along with Dominant Koi freely grants access to Dominant Gradient presentation.) The typical Koi spots then appear on top of this as their own marking layer.
• Regardless of "Inverted Koi" presentation or just normal Koi, Dominant Koi allows for any color to be used on the koi spots and any amount of colors to be used, from one singular flat color, to a rainbow gradienting together along the back of an Ixi.
• The spots can appear anywhere on the body. As they are large, they should appear on a minimum of roughly 30% of the body and a maximum of roughly 70%.
• If the markings appear above Koi, they can be color-shifted where they touch the spots - it must still follow the marking's color rules, however! With modifier markings like Glitter and Lunar, this can result in an entirely different modifier color being present on the spots than the color present on the main body.
