Black Koi: Facts About The Species
The Koi come in a wide variety of patterns and colors. The black Koi are distinguished from the other varieties with their own coloring, and not much else. These species can live about 25 to 35 years, but the oldest of them have lived around 200 years! They are seen regularly in ponds located in the outdoors throughout the world.
The males are distinguished by their concave anal section, and their breeding spots on their head. They have the ability to lay up to a thousand eggs. The fry (baby Koi) will start emerging within around 4 to 7 days, depending on the water’s temperature. It’s an amazing fact that their color emerge when they’re 3 to 12 weeks old. When they were first bred in Japan from carp mutations, they only had two colors. More colors came in with more breeding through the years, which showed a variety of magnificent patterns and colors.
They can grow up to about 36 inches long, that's why they should be kept in large ponds. The species known as the Magoi is one of the first black mutations that can grow very long. Their actual color is deep bronze, but seen as black when viewed from above. Because of their unique size possibilities, the blood of the Magoi is being re-introduced to the other species so as to maximize their potential when it comes to growth.
The Karasu ("karasu" which means "crow" in Japan) is one of the extremely old species of black Koi. It is characterized by its black body and fins. It has an orange or white-colored belly.
It can change its color because of the dietary and environmental effects. Their color changes from duller to brighter shades. The Matsukawabake is known for this characteristic, which is typically black in color that has areas or white on its own body. Depending on the water's temperature or the season, its color can completely change. It can turn to a full white or full black, and will return to its original pattern once the temperature conditions will change.
The Kumonryu (“kumonryu” which means “dragon fish”), which first appeared in the 1980′s, is known to be the popular ones among the Koi species. It was designated with such a name as it is reminiscent of the bodies of dragons that are depicted by the paintings of the ancient times (others would say they look like dragons ascending through the clouds). This can also change their colors.
Pond owners are being attracted to the Koi's colors and patterns, and there's nothing more exciting than owning a fish like the black Koi that can change their color right before your very eyes!
