I like 6 and 8, just my personal preference.

The goshiki to me is not eye appealing and would soon loose interest The shiro has probably the nicest shape. And well probably stay somewhat as is....

Nice find cottagefog Maybe Rama will check back but hasn't logged in since last post in May '24

100% agree with you:yes: At the end I'm gonna pick the ones I like the most. I'm interested to know others' perspective though. That's why I...

Well you have to look at them and take care of them everyday. What we think really doesnt matter. Its what you like. As I am sure others here have...

I have only gosanke + 1 chagoi at home so #8 #10 blend in rather nicely I presume, #6 #11 could add a little bit of variety to the mix. I'm torn...

6 8 10 11 are your best. What two do you like

Can't see it from above but when I looked at it in person, #10 has a white belly. Which 2 would you pick as the best of the bunch?

Sounds about right, though #10 I don't see white pattern.

Found this during my typical search of pond things I don't need! ...

Usually when oranges/red's disappear they don't return.

Once a koi shows redness outside with dropsy. Its done for. Euthanize The redness could be due to secondary bacteria moving in for the kill or its...

I saw her today , she ate out of my hand. Of course i didnt have my camera with me lol. The orange has really come in darker now. Its still the same...

Thank you. I had just installed a liner and fish are super skittish. I couldnt get a current photo. The orange is gone for now though. Your right it...

The picture doesn't allow for a decent ID to many variables going on the one item that appears to be viewed is the flowing fins I believe this is of...

Autopsy will help you learn

Fish die, just like people and other animals. They don't always have an outward appearance that would indicate a need for treatment. I have had one...

If there are no large ulcers, then it is probably organ failure. The fishes ability to regulate the internal fluid levels is a two step system, the...

The blur, lighting, and angle make it a bit difficult to say, but I'd guess showa. If the orange all stays away, it could pass for a shiro utsuri,...

Sadly she passed away, but assuming what you wrote was true, would being egg bound have caused the bulging eyes and redness on the face? Thank...

Hello, Sadly she passed away, but my water results were 0 ammonia, 0 nitrite, and 20mg nitrate per liter. What would you have done in that case?

It's suspicious you have two fish sick, though with dropsy it is commonly organ failure and sometimes the fish has run it's course.

I've started the salt treatment. I don't see any injuries although it seems like there is some deep redness on the right, right next to the dorsal...

What is the temperature of your pond?

You want pure sea salt without iodine or anti caking agents, solar salt from home improvement store is a good choice if it's pure, epsom salt is not...

It may be both, some koi fish can change gender throughout their lives. This is called sequential hermaphroditism, which is when an animal starts...

I didn't get the chance to automate the cleaning process but the system works fairly well for the cost. It is more time consuming than a fully...

I will try to get a photo of her this week but likely wont be good lol. I recently did some big maintence and put a liner in my pool pond and all...

Im sorry Real life got away from me for a while. Terrible late answer to this post. I forgot i posted it. To the question if I bred it, no. I bought...
