Habitat
Orange Koi is a well-known Porcellio scaber pattern: orange ground with lighter patches. Keep it like scaber, with a gradient and ventilation. The patches are genetic, not something you paint on with diet.
Diet
Leaves and wood first. Calcium in the bin. A little protein or vegetable. Koi keepers sometimes overfeed trying to 'hold the pattern.' Do not.
Breeding
Parents with strong patches can still produce plainer young. Breeding is often willing. No brood number is on file.
A good fit
A favorite hardy display scaber. A good step if Dairy Cow feels too plain and a Cubaris feels too fussy.
