So we all know what \u2018koi\u2019 are, and we have an inkling that there are serious collectors – koi kichi \u2013 out there. That makes them valuable, at least to some people. But how much could a fish, even a big fish, even a very pretty fish, actually be worth, and why? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, there was once a very beautiful nishikigoi<\/em> in Japan, of the type first developed over two hundred years ago. This stunning fish was a Kohaku, white with red patches pleasingly distributed over her body. What made her exceptionally lovely was the intensity of her colors, and the absolute crisp delineation between the white and red. All the borders were sharp and crisp. The red patches were perfect, all the same unvaried shade without blotching or faded areas. The white field they overlaid was equally without stain, a perfect white. She had no other markings, and no imperfections. At nine years old, the three-foot-three-inch fish had perfect fins and her body the ideal shape, swelling to its largest girth midway between her head and tail, perfectly symmetrical. Her breeders, Saki Fish Farm in Hiroshima Japan, auctioned in October of 2018. At the gavel\u2019s drop, a young lady from Taiwan with a family background in koi, Miss Yingying, paid 203 million yen for S Legend, as the carp is called. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s $1.8 MILLION BUCKS for a fish! What\u2019s even more amazing is Miss Yingying Chung\u2019s story, but that\u2019s for you to look up.\u2026 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And remember, when you\u2019re ready for your million dollar koi, Atlantic-OASE has the pond equipment for you! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
