      Please tell me this koi fry deserves to be here…

      I’m ready to be disappointed. Found it in a mixed lot from eBay.

      Welcome Perpetual and thanks for joining Koiphen!

      We just need one thread on your new koi... would you like the one in "Mutts" or this one to stay?

      No worries!
      Let's think positively and leave him in the listing for Serious Critique.
      I'd give you my take but I know nothing about picking future champions!

      Why care what others think about your koi? If you like it, keep it.

      I would definitely grow it on

      That' what keeping fish is all about.

      It has survived eBay for a a reason, to make you keen and interested in it.

      Nothing to lose.

      It probably won’t look anything like it looks today and there’s really no telling how it will color out and develop. I am always totally amused when buyers try to hand select 2 inch fish expecting them to look similar when they get older.Give it about nine more months and you’ll have some idea, but still not any certainty. I’ve had fish over 18 months old that completely change color.

      Agreed with the above. People have a difficult predicting tosai, let along a fry. Beni that bright and red on a fry will most likely deteriorate within a year.
