Male or Female

Tom · Guest

First, I think some of your art work is the best I have seen. I have been in the hobby for about ten years now and the only thing I don't like about some of the pictures is, all the koi look like males. A male is a long slender koi. A female has a thicker body to it. Pictures of female sell 10 to 1 over pictures of male.

Just my thoughts, and keep up the great work.

Thanks, Tom! I appreciate the advice. We have worked on exactly the issue that you describe, making some size and shape variability in the koi to make the pond feel more real. I agree that our fish are definitely of the longer, more slender variety, and that the pond could use some thicker bodied koi.
