Japanese Koi Glossary

[Melos]

Hi! When adding fish to my pond, I really just pick out the ones I think are really pretty and bright. But I'm sure some care about the different hybrids or varieties of Japanese Koi. They are named based on the colors and patterns of their scales.

I found this great glossary to help you out.

It seems I have some Aka Bekko, a Kanoko kohaku, and Sanke.
