Choose the ideal koi fish

Body shape can be seen when the koi swim, because of the perfect body shape will impact directly on the style of swimming. Similarly the contrary. Although a koi have very beautiful shades of color and plump, but if its fins are incomplete, koi are considered ugly. Although not absolute, should both sides of the body symmetrically. And it must be remembered, a female parent is "contains" more distended stomach. It Do not be misconstrued that the koi fish stomach abnormal. It must be remembered also, there are two forms of abnormal body ie: disability and lack of food. If a koi does not finned or lost his right eye, clear koi is flawed and should never be elected in spite of sold cheap. But if there is a koi potbellied on one side of his body, or there is a small cavity in the head, if we are interested in koi like that should be taken, with prices of course!

In detail, the form of entity to be considered are as follows:

1. Back straight lines and curved back reasonable

If we look from above, the line should look straight back koi and shimmy when they move back to the normal curve. When viewed from the side, then the next line over her body and lower body forming a natural arch. That is, the upper body should not be too curved, but the bottom is also not up to form a straight line. Koi swim when forming a sharp curve on the body itself does not deserve to be selected.

2. Fins grow perfect and beautiful

The fins are beautiful and magnitude according to the body, making the koi look gorgeous. The most important among all the fins are the pectoral fins. The fins should not be disabled due to illness or congenital defects. Some koi are due to deficient food usually has fins which dwarfs (small).

Tail fins and dorsal fins of koi are often found it flawed. Similarly, pelvic fin or anal fin. Try to choose a koi that has a fin shape perfectly.

3. Perfectly shaped head

Some koi faces unsightly, but some do not. There is a koi that has a nose leaning forward, and some have a pointed nose. This koi nose shape, though different, are both considered to be less good. What good is a koi with a reasonable form of nose, not too prominent, but also did not sink in the meat stack.

Jaw defects most decisive. Perhaps this defect is caused by gill disease root (root gills) that attack koi as a kid. Defect that causes a very large influence on the assessment of koi. Head of koi became large and wide, and very unsightly. This disease does affect the shape of the mouth and gills. Between the eyes, mouth, and jaw should be equally good, and establish a harmonious and perfect building.

4. The comparison with matched

Comparison between the length, width, and height is a key good or koi. What is intended here is the greatest rate between length and height ratio is one. That's the most good. But in general this ratio figures ranged from 1 to 2.6 to 1 to 3.0 and this figure is usually sufficient.
