Hi Doreen. This is very common in Koi, especially with the Tancho Kohakus. For whatever reason they're colours disappear and on the rare condition, will...
genetics are probably the key. I had a stunning gin rin showa that was given to me after she started losing hi (red) and most of the depth of sumi (black) as...
Hi, Thank you for your reply! Did your koi ever get their color back? I've had this Kohaku 3-4 years now. She just started fading a couple of months ago. I...
Hi Lorraine, Thank you for your reply. I never knew that it was common for koi to fade. I thought, if anything, that they would develop more color as they...

Hello All. We have just lost fish number 9 & 10 - both ten-inch koi purchased in May - with the same set of mysterious symptoms. They began as healthy, hungry...

Until a koi reaches 2 or 3 yrs of age, it's color can change dramatically. Most of us select young koi we hope will do well, based on lineage etc. The only way...
Hi Lorraine, We also keep the shading over the top so that the fish won't be seen by hawks, herons, and any other darned bird that might want to eat them. We...
Sounds like paracites... you'd have to scrape and scope them to find out which one(s). The behavior "sounds" like costia, but it's a quicker killer and leaves...
Thank you for your reply. I'll have to print out this list and try giving the koi some new treats. They all beg like puppy dogs. They are so cute! Are...
