How how HOW do you get a picture like that from your phone?? I get so much glare off the water you can't see a thing.

The best is to take the picture late in the day or real early morning. Hold the camera at a low angle to the water, this helps a lot. Keep the sun at your back or at least at a strong side angle. Hope this helps. If you can use a actual camera then a polarizer is your friend.

what makes a koi a "ghost"?

what makes a koi a "ghost"?

"Ghost Koi are actually a hybrid fish, of wild metallic-scaled carp and Ogon Koi. There is some debate among Koi keepers as to whether or not this fish constitutes a true Koi carp." That's from an article called "Types of Koi". I have no idea if that's correct though! haha! The power of the internet!

i have one ghost koi with metallic gold , it looks like wearing a mask , eyes are dark 2 circles . A perfect one has contrast of light& dark colour and in a pond only light colour is visible as ghost is floating in pond lol , its a nick or some english hybrid

That's cool!
Are Dragon koi (Kikokuryu), ghosts too? I've been trying to get one of those, but after buying it twice, and both times ended up dead within the first week after purchase, I sort of gave up on it.
