Orange and Red Gin Rin Chagoi from Israel. True Chagoi or crossbred with Benigoi?
This year I have seen two amazing Gin Rin Chagoi with seperate importers, both have been from Israel. One looked red and one more orange. Anyone know if they are 100% Chagoi or crossbred with Benigoi? They look too good to be true.

Both have been at dealers in Lancashire. Must have come in from the same buying trip. I've emailed the one of them that is still for sale.

Yeah, true. It normally wouldn't make any difference to me. If I like the fish, thats all that matters. However, in this case, if I buy a Chag I want it to behave like a Chag. Its a bit of a lottery if its 50/50 Chag Benigoi.

Taking this a bit further, is this really a chag? I've never seen a white one before.

This cropped up in conversation a couple of weeks ago.
all my koi are from Japan though I have had koi from cuttlebrook koi farm.
would you all mix koi from different countries. They used to say that because all Israelis koi are vaccinated against KHV the could infect a Japanese’s koi the hasn’t been.
im not sure if it was proven either way but I would personally never take the risk, what are others take on this?
