Koi fish are amazing, and people who work in them seldom give up they. Many say they are addictive. Certainly, all the fish in the pond there, koi are the most fascinating. They are incredibly beautiful, colorful and curious. Beings respond human and always come to investigate whether people are on the side of the pond to admire.

Koi are a type of carp that originated in Japan. In relatively recent years that have been developed through a process of selective breeding and now there are models and colors that can farmers earn a small fortune. For example:

 · Shiro Muji is a pure white koi,

 · Aka Muji is clear red

 · Ohgon is clear gold

 · Yamabuki Ohgon is a spectacular koi yellow gold with metallic scales,

 · Hariwake Ohgon fish on a metallic gold and silver, which seems to glow from the pond,

 · Asagi is black with blue scales and has a sort of balanced look her,

 · Shiro Utsuri is black with white markings,

 · Ki Utsuri is black with yellow spots,

 Hi! · Utsuri is balck with red marks,

 · Kikusui is white with orange wavy patterns on her body,

 · Tancho Kohaku has a white body with a single place, but big in red on his head,

 · Kohaku is red and white, the background color is white – and preferably red from a red spot on the fish's head, and ends with a period just before the caudal fin (or tail),

 · Taisho Sanke is also known as Japanese koi tricolor, and is a white fish with patterns in red and black, preferably with a big red spot on his head, and

 · Showa Sanke is a tricolor Modern Japanese is black with red and white markings on it.

The Germans have also been selectively bred koi, but generally these are not as thin as the Japanese races. The standards also vary.

When you buy your fish, you will pay much more for those who meet the color and pattern well that the criteria that do not. But even koi that are not perfect, in terms of patterns are still magnificent.

When it comes to a pool of Koi storage, the most important factor to consider is how many fish can be accommodated. Koi can grow to three feet in ideal conditions, but they need plenty of water to swim in. In calculating the number of fish that can accommodate, allow at least 27 square feet for each fish, to allow sufficient growth. Instead of buying less fish if you are unsure.

Making sure you have a quality pump and filter that adapts to the size of your koi pond and feed them pellets made good especially for koi.
