mjfromga 1,784 Posted December 21, 2018 What a pretty girly! Lovely color. Judging by the mouth, size, and color... She's DEFINITELY got some Koi in there. The name suits perfectly as well. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FishyMandy 6,272 Posted December 21, 2018 Thanks Myra ^^ I suspected she was a Koi Hybrid when I got her but wasn't really sure since Koi are illegal here. But how she is grown and kept her colour, and her shape show there is definitely some Koi in there She is definitely one of, if not, my favourite pond fish. I'd be devastated if I lost her. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mjfromga 1,784 Posted December 22, 2018 Well hopefully she doesn't die anytime soon. She's definitely a nice fish. Very different. Definitely a Koi mix... But that's a good thing because that's what makes her the way she is. My favorite fish is still little Bayana. If I can grow him large enough, he may be a show stopper. He's the smallest one of the group, so I am not sure he will grow well... But I sure hope so. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Arctic Mama 3,625 Posted December 22, 2018 She has gotten so big! Interesting physical characteristics too. If she doesn’t have some koi in there I’d be surprised too, especially with the broadness through her gills. That is a very torpedo shape for a Goldie 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FishyMandy 6,272 Posted December 22, 2018 She is reallly strong too lol, was very hard to hold her for the photo! (hence them been not very good quality lol) I'm hoping to have her for many more years! 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
