Koi color
Can a Koi lose color if stressed?
I bought a Koi, a little black n white butterfly one, and when I got home and took him out the bag he almost looked silver, hardly no black at all. I'm beginning to wonder if the guy caught the right Koi, but I know the guy knew which one I wanted. Priss |

Koi color
Koi lie about their colors. The color will change due to stress, and may
return quickly as soon as they are over the stress. It will change due to water quality. It will change due to age. Sometimes, if you look closely at a young koi, you can see a hint of gray or blue under the skin, and this will end up being deep black when it grows up. I did a pond call this spring where the woman was so worried about her fish that was starting to be covered with little black spots. When I got there and looked, it was just the color coming up on a becko, that she thought was just a plain white fish. I have some real losers that have changed for the worse and some that have changed for the better. Give it a few days to settle down. Black usually doesn't go a away and stay, red will. -- RichToyBox http://www.geocities.com/richtoybox/pondintro.html "pmwebdesigns" wrote in message ... Can a Koi lose color if stressed?
