Brilliant Koi carp with a metallic sheen - ideal for ornamental ponds
The Ghost Koi is a hybrid ornamental carp created by crossing classic Koi with metallic common carp. Its name comes from its ghostly appearance: silver or golden reflections, streamlined body and luminous coat visible even in dark water.
Very hardy and fast, it is perfect for medium to large garden ponds, alone or in groups with other Koi varieties or pond fish.
A calm, gregarious species, the Koi Ghost likes to live in groups. It adapts well to temperature variations and has no problem living with other carp, goldfish, shubunkins or sturgeons.
You'll need a pond of at least 3,000 litres, with a good depth (≥ 80 cm) to avoid thermal shock.
Omnivorous:
Ensure powerful filtration and appropriate water treatments to guarantee healthy growth.
