Butterfly Koi: What Kind of Fish Is It?
Choose veiltail koi carp at koiferma.ru
What kind of fish are veiltail koi? What are their qualities and care requirements? I've been keeping and handling veiltail koi for about 12-15 years. They naturally became part of our selection of ornamental pond fish. This is because they possess all the qualities of koi, including intelligence and sociability. Many speculate that they were bred by crossing koi and comets, but as far as is known, no reliable data is available, and attempts to conduct such crossbreeding experiments have failed. The main legend circulating online is about an observant Japanese emperor traveling through Indonesia who noticed carp in some canals because of their whiskers and long fins. The rest was a matter of technique, as the long-fin gene was a stroke of luck – it proved dominant and was passed on when crossing koi of various colors. The history of the development of veiltail koi is developing quite rapidly, captivating both pond owners and aquarists around the world.
Veiltail koi raised on Koiferma possess striking ornamental qualities. These beautiful pets are highly intelligent for a fish and can thrive in both ponds and aquariums, coexisting peacefully with other fish.
The selection carried out on Koiferma focuses on both fin color and length. You'll immediately notice this in the tail length of our butterfly koi. Koi with long fins swim slightly slower than those with classic fins, so it's NECESSARY TO SELECT KOI SLIGHTLY LARGER THAN THEIR NEIGHBORING FISH.
Koi veiltail koi from Koiferma are available for sale starting at 10 cm. At this size, veiltail koi are already quite strong, with developed tails, developing coloration, and are eating food. 3mm.
It's important to note that they grow more slowly than classic koi, reaching 65cm in size. In our case, it took them 5 years. Another interesting thing is that when living in an aquarium, they adapt to its size and stop growing when necessary.
