      Please sex this koi for me

      Kodama listed as a female, but body and eating habit do not comply with normal female koi. Please sex it for me. I squeezed anal, but not sperm

      You mentioned you have a female that didn't produce eggs, has this particular koi ever produced eggs in past spawnings the reason I ask that is because in the last 15 yrs or so many breeders have been working towards producing male koi with female bodies and some of them have gotten the recepie quite correct. Having said that if you could get a better picture of the front leading ray on both pectoral fins of the koi you have inquired about it's sex I think it would help because on the bottom picture you provided I see no indication on the kois body of it being a female and notice I said (body) not the anal/vent area, the top view picture for me also confirms what I just mentioned about the body.

      No, I bought this female late last year. It was born in 2018. 2022 is my first spawning try. Kodama koi farm listed as a female from Dainichi. I bought it because I like its strong and sharp beni, and it was from Dainichi. It had thin body when I received it. I thought Kodama sexed it wrong. Its eating habit was not helping to sex either. It has the same eating habit of male koi, come up and eat and go down. Its body got bigger as I fed a lot of food in this summer.

      Run your finger along the leading edges of the pectorals.

      What do you feel?

      No roughness when I ran finger across pectoral fins and cheek. I thought now it is not spawning season yet, so that's why i feel no roughness. If not, it is really female. It happened last year spawning. I had a female koi with very good body, but had no eggs when I separated it for spawning.

      That's why I asked for a better picture of the pectoral leading ray on both pectoral fins, male koi that are being bred to resemble female koi hold the attributes of a female koi, that also explains what I've read in a few articles that their fertility rate is lower, thanks in advance
