If you like em, - go buy them, I think they are more prone to fin damage and would`nt win shows. Probably also a must to have a heated pond to lessen any low temp damage to fins.

Hiya

Personally I just cant see what is stunning about them? Koi dont need add ons to look majestic, bit like an E type and an XJS.

They are a favourite with the lady's but loose there attraction after a year or two as they grow. They stay slim and the fins become tatty.
