No they are not goldfish
Yes they are different variations/varieties of the same species.
Yes, they do quite well together, I have both Comets and Shubunkin in a pond and they are very happy.
Koi, Japanese goldfish from the carp family, mate like most other fish. The female Koi lays thousands of eggs which are then fertilized by one or more males.
They are Goldfish and so they mature and breed as goldfish. They can be sexually mature at 1 year if they have been well housed and well looked after.
Yes, rosy reds and sarasa comets can share a tank, as they have similar water temperature and pH requirements. However, it's essential to ensure that the tank is large enough to accommodate both species, as comets can grow quite large and require more space. Additionally, providing ample hiding spots and maintaining good water quality will help reduce stress and potential aggression. Always monitor their behavior to ensure compatibility.
Koi and comets can be distinguished by their body shape and coloration. Koi tend to have a more robust, elongated body and come in a variety of colors and patterns, often with metallic or bright markings. In contrast, comets have a slimmer, more streamlined body with long, flowing fins and are typically orange or red with a less varied color pattern. Additionally, comets usually have a more pointed tail, while koi tails are broader and more rounded.
Sasa Handa is 158 cm.
Alphonse Antonio de Sarasa died in 1667.
Alphonse Antonio de Sarasa was born in 1618.
Sarasa are usually white with bright red markings
Yes, butterfly koi and regular koi can breed, as they are both varieties of the same species, Cyprinus carpio. When they mate, the offspring can inherit traits from both parents, resulting in a mix of physical characteristics. The breeding process is similar to that of other koi varieties, and the resulting fry can be either butterfly or regular koi, depending on the genetic combinations.
