Maybe John should just sell the hybrid ghost koi to go into the hybrid ponds. Sounds like a good fit. Ghost koi are the number one yard fish in UK.

Care Tips .... There are very few care tips and nothing specific to the ghost koi.
  • Keep them in as large a pond as possible and treat them as a pond fish rather than a koi. They do not require a premium koi diet with colour enhancers but a well balanced pond fish diet will be sufficient for this undemanding fish. They can be fed earlier in the Spring and later in the Autumn than koi without risking associated health problems experienced in purer inbred ornamental varieties.
  • As ghosts will readily consume quantities of food, the pond must have effective means of removing solids to maintain clarity coupled with effective biofiltration to breakdown toxic metabolic by-products. I.e. normal pondfish practise.
