Im very skeptical about this one Its as if they tattoed this koi to immitate thr japanese beliefs And iv noticed you regularly visit this farmer and you mentioned it looks like ink yourselfThey do these thing to the koi search it up if you dont believe me .

Seem like there are a lot of deep history to these Japanese koi. Also as Shawn said I understand right, there are a lot of families passing down their 'savoir faire' as their legacy, like he said 80 to 85 farm on amountain. Correct me I am wrong.

would love to catch one like this at the lake. very nice fish but i have uncontrolable urges to catch them on my fishing rod. A friend of mine has a Koi pond in his garden we alway joke with each other .. I normaly say something along the lines of dam i would love to sink a hook into one of those carp .. to what he normaly replies there not carp there koi and i would bet you if you tried fishing for one .. ill laugh and say there nothing more than carp with colour on them .. he will laugh but i think deep down he would probably hit me if i did try and fish for one of his koi.. we are only joking with each other though i know how much he spent on his fish and pond as well as how much he loves his koi i would not ever really try and fish for one as much as i would like to lol.

It also looks like a bonsai tree in the sun by its tail.
-
it also has a crane on the tail

You mentioned how the doitsu started out as black and developed its colour. Can they go the other way too. I bought a year old koi with similar ratio of colour and within a year of owning it it's gone completely white. Is this common?
