Koi or Nishikigoi come in many
colors not to mention many varieties
can have a separate distinction of
being Doitsu (mostly scale less),
Ginrin (scales that have a diamond
reflection) and many can come with a
Hikari sheen (metallic). This is one
of the great things about the
Nishikigoi hobby. We have put
together a page for you that will
help in learning distinction of some
of the many varieties of Nishikigoi.
Sometimes your beautiful Nishikigoi
can come down with an illness or
parasite and one of the things you
will need to know is what your koi
has contracted to determine what you
can execute to make them healthy
again. Some parasites require a
microscope to see them while others
you can see with your eyes
relatively easy. In this section you
will find a page with pictures and
descriptions of fish related disease
and parasites. If your koi are
acting abnormal first and foremost
check your water parameters as it
could be something as simple as a
high ph level or high nitrite level. |
