    I,v got a thing about goshiki,s but I,m told that the body goes pale silver instead of dark silver like u guys can get because of our high water temp , I,v told my dealer to get me one like the photo but he says it’s impossible, however that one came to a dealer in Bangkok last year and was sold to a Saudi Prince for 1,000,000 baht £ 25000 . Maybe he’s got a chiller , I hate him already lol

    Mine started out darker, then went light, and now has gone like the one in your pic with the hi deepening.

    12 at the mo. It was at 23 before and still went dark. Think it’s maybe down to the hardness of the water, my GH is 9-13 and kh 4-5 with a TDS of around 220.

    I think you’re right , the Thais have always told me it’s because they like cool water and our waters too warm, it’s 28 in my pond 9 or 10 months of the year and that’s roofed it’s impossible to keep koi here in the sun but we’re having an unusually cold winter and my temps at 18 . The water here is very hard but I don’t know the kh or gh and neither do they , they don’t have test kits your theory makes more sense enjoyed the chat , regards john

    You got them wrong way round I think. Kh is carbonate hardness, gh is general gardness.

    New ish tancho

    It’s funny you saying that because a long time ago I flew to uk and took a sealed water sample back and asked the local koi dealer to test it and he said same , that he couldn’t understand it they were wrong way round , but then everything here is . So what does it mean . ?
