  • The scale-less koi carp will typically have a row of scales on their back at the base of the dorsal fin and frequently have another row of scales along the midsection of the carp's body known as the lateral line. See this example up close as the fish is removed from the water for display. The Doitsu or scale-less koi carp looks like a true piece of art, as if colors were painted on a smooth canvas.

    Thank you for sharing your knowledge on Doitsu koi, I will be sculpting such a koi for my next composition. Your explanation will allow me to get the scales right.

      +ThePondDigger I would love to. One of my bronze koi sculptures is currently featured on the cover of the KOIUSA magazine cover (sept/oct 2015) The koi is 27 inches, which is a bit too large for some bronze collectors; therefore, I plan to produce smaller bronze koi sculptures. Especially the doitsu variety after viewing this video. Keep up the awesome work on your videos.

    Great video. You guys should come out to Georgia and visit my friend's koi. He own Grand Koi and has an amazing collection (one of the best in the Western Hemisphere). My fiancé and I plan on having him build a pond for us as well. Cheers.

    Now I am understanding a bit more of those lovely Doitsu (Scaleless) koi, so I have seen some here in Mauritius but not as beautiful as these one. Thanks ThePondDigger
    Also, I notice the hoody jacket of mystic Koi on shawn which look nice.

    Gorgeous fish buddy. I was wondering if you have a pond of your own, and if so, I would love to see it :)

    • @ThePondDigger
      @ThePondDigger  10 ปีที่แล้ว

      OZZYTHEOSCAR Yes I have two ponds! One day we will get around to filming it. You can see it on our website under the pond panorama pictures.

    I bought a koi today from a Petsmart that resembles the ones in the video as far as having just the large scales on the sides but is not the same colors. Can other colored koi be scale less? He's more of a yellow gold/silver color.

    • @ThePondDigger
      @ThePondDigger  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes scaleless koi can come in lots of colors

  • @travis7289
    @travis7289 9 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Shouldn't scaleless not be propagated? Why do reptile and fish and whatever breeders want deformities and abnormalities? What do the Japanese purest breeders think of this? Should I ask Mistake Koi or can you help sir.

    So... why doitsu koi didnt win championship? Some people say their size will not be as large as koi with scale... is it true?

    I have an all white doitsu no scales at all. Not one is that rare. I literally put it in my hand to feel for scales. But he has none. He's beautiful tho. My favorite

    WHY
    WHY
    WHYYYY
    Do koi fish / goldfish breeders keep these MUTT fish?
    The spotted mixed colour is the worst look possible

    • @WhiteWolfos

      Thats the tradition to get it multi colored. They breed calico cats the same way. Personally I prefer the symmetry which is why most of my koi are symmetrical but each their own.
