Is Your Koi Valuable?
How do you know if you have bought a valuable koi?
 Â
Size counts. -The most important factor in determining the value of Koi is in its size. The bigger, the more valuable. Some Koi can get to be a 3 feet long. It appears that depending on their age and under optimum conditions Koi can grow almost an inch per month or faster.
 Â
Conformation – The next most important factor is shape. The most valuable shape is “torpedo-like”.
 Â
Skin, color intensity and clarity are also very important in evaluating the value of Koi. There should be no flaws or blemishes in the skin; next intensity, balance and clarity of color pattern will be judged. The more intense, balanced and clear the colors are the higher the value.
