| For many years, the vast majority of long fins were bred by tarheels. They more or less created the demand and then filled the demand. It was only when they got hit hard by some viral issues that the lead they had disapeared. And while the road to catch back up has been very rough, they are well on their way.
Anyway, Koi are a personal taste item. Some people dearly love long fins, others think they ought to only be bait fish. To each their own.
Keep what you want to keep, give or sell the rest.
