If you plan to take that fish for the love of your life Here are tips and tricks on how to pick the best koi fish that you are looking for.

Koi Fishes Size

The size of the koi fishes matters to the size of the tank you have available. Just like humans, koi fish should be provided a minimum space for them to swim around and make them feel comfortable in growing larger.

With the fish tank you have it will determine how many fish could be placed. Koi fishes love swimming around. It is suggested to have a 6 feet deep tank with 1000 gallons for a group of large koi fishes.

The koi fishes for sale at the resort start at the size of 13 inches - 33 inches large. Make sure to choose your fish wisely. Large fishes may look cooler and amazing but make sure to ask yourself first if it would be happy swimming in your small aquarium alone.

Koi Fishes Age

For breeding purposes or to find the best quality of koi fish you’ll need to take note of the age of the koi fish and its growth. If the fish is born within the year their age is called ‘tosai’. If the koi is beyond 10 inches or 25 cm within its ‘tosai’ year then you are looking at a koi fish with good genes. They grow fast and large quickly. 

This is very much in favor of koi fish farms because if the koi babies go fast they could sell it fast. Aside from the genes, we always have to consider the environment of the fishes that helped it maximize the potential of the fishes to grow. 

Types of Koi fishes

Generally the type of koi fishes vary in their color. Some vary on the length of their different fins. The idea is Make sure you pick a Koi fish color that you like.

There are rare colors of koi fishes. Some colors are from cross breeding and as the years and generation of fishes come selective breeding is done to isolate the dominant and recessive genes or DNA.
