Namaste

Greetings from India
Im kicked to have found this forum. Sadly no one in India seems to be into rearing good quality Koi. All the Koi we get here are basic pond types.I finally managed to get hold of some juvenile Kohakus (4-6 inches) from an importer ad that too im sure are not going to win any awards. Well its a start for me. Would love to hear from the experts out here.
regards
Philip

Welcome Jacob,

Don't think you'll find much in India. When I was in Mumbai there wasn't a koi to be found and I wondered if there were any koi people in India. Looks like you've found us though. Welcome aboard!

India

This is the sad story of the ornamental fish industry in India. Hardly any good quality fish are traded. The market is for cheap fish. We dont even get any good quality goldfish here. Nowadays with some relxation of imports from time to time you come across some decent arowanas and flower horns.

But sadly no one seems to realise the beauty of good Koi. Like i mentioned in my earlier post all the koi we get here are the orange and black ones. Dont ever see Koi with Hi on them. Is there a term for these low grade Koi?

As im new to this myself can some one explain to me how to distinguish between a sanke and a showa?

Thanks
