2. What are the main strains of koi?

1. Dazheng tricolor

Taisho tricolor is the representative of Japanese koi, the background color is pure white, and the pattern is composed of red and black, so it is called Dazheng tricolor. It was born in 1951. In the design and color, in addition to the background color requires pure white, red to bright red thick, the edge of the pattern is clear, its colored head should not render eyes, nose, cheek and top kiss. The tail should also reach the caudal base, and the pectoral fin should have 2-3 black lines, but there are no black spots on the head. Its main varieties are lipstick trichrome (lips red), red trichrome (large area erythema from head to tail), German trichrome and German red trichrome (German mirror carp), Fuji trichrome, clothing trichrome, deer tricolor, tricolor Qiucui, Dahe brocade, gold and silver scale trichrome, Danding tricolor and so on.

two。 Akira tricolor

Zhaohe tricolor is one of the main varieties of koi, its background is black, with red and white patterns embellished to form a beautiful pattern, and the pectoral fins have black spots extending from the head. It was born in 1927 (Showa 22). Based on the black background color, it has a piece of red spots on the head, pure red, clear edges, and pure white distributed in the head and tail and the back of the fish. The focus of watching is on the first half. There are special similarities between Zhaohe tricolor and Dazheng tricolor. If you can't grasp the main points, it is easy to be confused, mainly in the following three aspects:

1) Dazheng trichromatic head can not appear black spots, but Zhaohe tricolor has it.

2) the large positive trichromatic black spot is used to embellish the pattern, which accounts for a small proportion of the three colors and is generally distributed over the back of the lateral scale, while Zhaohe trichromatic black accounts for a large proportion and is distributed in all parts of the fish body, including the abdomen.

3) the large positive trichromatic pectoral fin has only a few black stripes, while Zhaohe trichromatic base has larger black spots. The main varieties of Zhaohe tricolor are tripping Showa, modern Showa, German Showa, gold and silver scale Showa, Danding Showa and so on.

3. Red and white

The koi with a red pattern on a white background is called red and white (this was bred in 1917). If we say that Dazheng tricolor and Zhaohe tricolor can give people a sense of grace and dignity to appreciate koi, while red and white can give people a sense of quality, purity and elegance. The background color of red and white is pure white, as white as snow, and red is extremely bright, similar to the red color of crane top in goldfish. These two colors form beautiful patterns on the back of the fish, so some people often describe the red and white koi with the language that "begins with red and white, and ends with red and white", which means that the koi first appeared in red and white. Later, other varieties continue to appear and are appreciated by people, but in the long-term breeding process of repeated taste, in the end still feel that red and white is the most elegant.

It is better for red and white patterns to be evenly distributed around the left and right sides of the pattern. However, the distribution of flower spots in the head can not be rendered to the eyes, cheeks and snout, and the tail pattern should be about 2cm from the base of the caudal fin. There should be a large erythema on the head, otherwise it is called a "monk". The front part of the shoulder and back of the fish should also have larger markings to form the focus of viewing, and the back part should have a small pattern to set off the front part. Do not lose the theme of viewing because the markings on the back part are heavier than those on the head and shoulders. The main varieties of red and white are two, three, four sections of red and white, lightning red and white, German red and white and other varieties.
