Guidelines in Buying Koi fish

Understanding how Koi develop helps you to evaluate young fish. Here are some basic guidelines to consider when selecting fish

Health: Is the fish healthy? This is the number one priority.

Personal Taste:  Do you like the fish? Forget about whether it will win a show or not, do you want to add this fish to your collection? You should be really excited about buying a fish

Body Shape:  Is the body shape full? The fish should be powerful looking and in balance – head, body, tail tube, fins.

Balance of Color:  Color should be bright! Patterns tell a story.

As a koi owner, you will decide the quality and type of Koi you want.  Invest your time in studying, searching, and building your system.  Then enjoy your Koi.
