Koi Angelfish
We've been perfecting our Koi Lines
and selling them to breeders and hatcheries all over the world for more than
23 years - longer than anyone else! The color of our best fish is
unsurpassed! In addition, most also have a percentage of wild blood
in them.
Juveniles have approximately nickel/quarter
size bodies.
We price our Koi angelfish based on the amount of orange
on them. Our Regular Koi have approximately 20-40% orange
coverage on their bodies. Our Premium Koi have approximately 40-75%
orange, and our Select Koi range from about 75-95% orange on the
body.
Below photos are of our breeding stock and examples
of some juveniles.

Koi Color Genetics
(Gm/g S/S) or (Gm/Gm S/S) This is a fish with a very complex color
genetic makeup. The only known gene interactions are from Gold Marble
and Stripeless alleles. There is great variability in the expression
of orange pigment. The requirements to get good expression are not
completely understood. A non-stressing environment is very important
and foods containing carotenoids are also effective in developing
and maintaining color.
The color can fade under stress. It generally gets more intense
as the fish age. At the same time the percentage of coverage generally
goes down as the fish matures. Adults that are 100% orange
(except where there is black) are quite
rare.
