We're also concerned about the bloodline that's why my hubby wants to invest in great koi stock. Where do you guys get your kois?

From Llamas? Hmmm.. Try Koi Hob. The kois are far more superior and the owner is very nice. You can even haggle. Yep, we are planning to breed. But my hubby is very OC about standards so I guess we won't start yet until we have studied everthing.

asking again,

hi! how can we distinguish at first look a koi from a regular carp? coz i went strolling in magallanes this afternoon and i saw some fish and the people said that those were koi.

calling koiboi the koi expert hgegegegegge para mu answer mwhehehehe

bang, im no expert.. i just started like 4 months ago.
but based on my my friends standards, you can really differentiate carps from kois in the patterns. kois have edgy and sharp patterns and carps have none. maam faithfulnina is also correct, bloodline is also important.
koi is practically expensive than carps but that is an investment.

Looks like you have a tancho, a platinum, a hi utsuri and the other one is too blurry to distinguish. It might be a platinum ogon.

thanks! the big one is yellow. just looking white in the picture though.

from the left, a tancho but i think theres an orange coloration on the body, so it could also be a maruten kuhako. the big one is a koi but lost its pattern maybe due to frequent breeding breeding by the parents. the orange one is a hi utsuri. and the small white one with black patterns on it is hmmm. a carp.. lol im not sure..
