‘Koi varieties continue to evolve and improve. Less than 200 years ago, all Koi came from the common carp grown as a food source in and amongst the rice paddies. Along the way the first Koi variety appeared as an Asagi type. With careful breeding and selection, many more varieties were produced and today there are over 25 major varieties with countless variants and crosses.’
We’ve put together these graphics to help show the many different varieties. All the information comes from Blackwater Creek Koi Farms where we order our Koi from. We hope you enjoy learning about these beautiful fish! Koi are fantastic for aquaponics as they are tolerant of a wide range of water quality and love to eat - which creates the waste we need to fuel the system.
