Hi Susie, They are lovely, we had some they all died as they jumped out of the pond. So beware jumping fish, cover maybe required. Sara |

They are also koi, so need good conditions and grow to about 2ft in length! They are beautiful though!

They are disgusting mutants and anyone keeping them should be taken round the back and shot !!!!! ;D
Well that's enough of my opinion of them. They are pretty hardy but as mentioned, they are koi and will eat like a horse and get big. They appreciate clean, well filtered and well aerated water...like most koi but as they're carp, they will survive quite happily in the muddiest of ponds.
