This is something that you don't have to worry about. It's just their genetics.

Those are koi. And koi angels are genetically blushing gold marbles.

With young blushers, their gill plates are see through. Which is why they appear red. As they mature, the gill plates typically lose that transparency and the pink cheeks go away. But not always.

Here is a thread I made with examples of both adults and juvies. I love blushers and breed many different types of blushers.
