Can you judge my new koi please?
Am I lucky to have one or both female here, or none?
Thank you,

The Kohaku's got lovely shaped pectorals fins, an evenly balanced overall body pattern which finishes off
evenly before the end of the nose and between the eyes.
The 11/2 cm collar of snow white on the peduncle just balances the tail off nicely.
I believe with the Taniguchi credentials, you have something to look forward to.

Love the body. Does the showa have a crooked mouth?

Hi Kevin,
I don't think ( and hope) so.
I don't have a net to catch it to bow for pictures.
This is the best I can take so far.

Ben I am curious...can you add whether your water is soft or hard
What do your parameters usually look like PH GH KH

Noahsnana,
I'm not sure, but I live in Virginia (US), and people say we have a hard water.
I have a 1,000 indoor pond. I don't measure PH, GH, or KH.
I just do 20% water change every week.
