i dont think it will change but it does not have much on it back and would be worried it would all go in time and only be left with the head markings.

Oby shags , do tend to change with water hardness , and a bit on the temp front , but the changes can really vary with each koi .

and just to add its ginrin Oby shag

shev , if your looking for koi to grow on , try cuttlebrook , buy there slightly bigger fry 2-3cm and go for a mix , it will give you the chance to observe all the changes each type go through
