Choosing Tosai Koi

Selecting tosai properly is difficult because young koi are not yet fully developed, so predicting their final appearance requires many considerations. Tosai or Koi that are less than 1 year old very easy to change their color. We must be careful in selecting koi at age tosai. One has to observe the skin in the area around the neck and the shoulders of Koi. It is normal not to have Fukurin at this age, but the skin in the area around the neck and shoulders should appear white and shiny. Whiteness of the skin, however, is not the sole factor in determining skin quality.
