A friend of mine has been breeding carnation clear eyes for a couple generations. In doing so she brought a koi trait and now her kois have carnation clear eyes! Awesome right?
Well she was running into a problem of finding a koi mate. So she sold a nest, and bought a koi with carnation dusty eyes. They maded and their first nest was....
A glacier clear eye koi.
Huh!?
Now I did a bit of research into the male's parents. There is no glacier in the background. There is however a few clear eyes in the mist of it all.
Here's the nest link:

I checked as far as the father's grand parents. Go browsing through that tree.
This might be an example of a mutation.. and odd one at that. However we'll find out in another 5 days if it keeps up or not.
Thoughts?
