What should be noted when appreciating red and white koi?
The points to note when appreciating red and white koi are:
First, the base color should preferably be white and nearly pure white, with a bright white base being the best. If it is a yellowish white base or has black spots, it is rated as inferior.
Second, the edges of the red markings are best when they are clear and not blurred.
Third, the best hue of the red is deep red.
Fourth, whether the markings are large or small, there must be red markings on the head. However, "masked" koi whose heads are entirely red have relatively low ornamental value.
Fifth, the arrangement of the red plates or markings should be left-right symmetrical.
Sixth, between the head and the trunk, red markings that cut in are preferable. The red must not reach the lips, eyes, pectoral fins, dorsal fin, tail fin, and other such places.
