What are the morphological characteristics of the Konjo Asagi koi?

The Asagi koi is a type of koi with quite distinctive external features. Its back appears deep blue or light blue, the outer edges of its scales appear white, and the belly, pectoral fins, and the bases of the hand fins are covered with crimson red, truly a brightly colored and vividly hued one.Koi varieties。

Konjo Asagi, as the name suggests, is the Asagi variety in which the blue color is especially deep and pronounced (kon means blue, or a black tinged with red). This is also the Asagi closest to the true carp; the fish body shows a vivid deep blue, looks very textured, and is extremely alluring.

First, the head of the koi must be clear blue, with no dark shadows or granular black spots, and certainly no other murky mixed colors allowed.

The most important aspects of form are two: the head and the body shape. The pattern on the head is often the focus of appreciation, and the requirements for it are the highest. The blue on the back, paired with neat scales, is dazzling and magnificent scale by scale. The crimson red on the left and right sides of the face, the belly, and the base of the fins is best when the red quality is deep and rich and the edges are clear.

Second, check whether the scales on the back are complete, neat, and bright. If the scales are dull and lusterless, or uneven, then the value of such a fish drops greatly. This is also an important principle for judging Konjo Asagi.

Of course, the body shape of the koi cannot be ignored either. In summary, the Konjo Asagi is good because its blue is dazzlingly bright, its red is very powerful, and its white is very textured. Precisely because of this, it has become a very well-known category among Asagi.
