Black koi

[lfreem]

that's definitely not a koi. Looks like a common goldfish to me.

I have a black koi (from the top view). (We named him Barack. LOL!) He's got orange and white on the underside, but you can't really see it from the top view in a pond of course. Our water is pretty clear, but personally I don't care for him because he doesn't really add anything to my flock. He's sort of the ugly duckling among his more colorful swan siblings. With a black liner on the bottom of the pond, he's sort of hard to see. He is extremely lively, so he's hard to miss from that perspective.

But, I will likely give him away one day when I see another koi I've gotta have that will need that space. I'd rather have the color. Nothing against him tho, as I have one boring basically just orange koi that I will likely trade away as well for the same reason--adds nothing interesting.

So there is not a chance that someone here has one solid black koi? If not then alll well ill settle for koi with the dominant color black.

Black koi are supposed to be good luck. I ordered 2 from Japan, very small. One ended up turning bronze, the other developed white fins and tail.

poor, poor @Jhn ...perhaps if you POSTED A PIC of said blackie, maybe you can make this old post new again!!

(jeez, didn't even get a chance for an acro; hmm, would you accept OPNA? No? Hmm, well, there'll be other ops!)

I'll add my 'black koi' experience; having succumbed to MFS (YAY! there it is--thank you addy!), I figured with an underwater camera, I could actually SEE a black koi. I had two large, 14", black sharks in aquariums while growing up and envisioned this koi looking like that. So, got the karasu in late May. By late June, I never saw it again. So, what they say about black koi (never going to see it) has proven quite prophetic!
