Choosing A Koi To Grow Large
Most Koi keepers like to try and get their koi as large as possible creating a jumbo koi of around 80 cm. The reality is that most koi do not end up growing to this size and people often wonder why.
People have more luck growing Chagoi koi to larger sizes than Go Sanke and the main reason behind this is genetics. The most common reason why koi do not grow to these large sizes is that people are not picking the right koi. A good example is the Chagoi which is a close relative to the carp. This type of fish has the potential to grow to a similar size to its relative unlike other types of koi.
In Japan Go-Sanke breeders are producing koi in excess of 90cm and this is simple because these koi have the genetics to grow this large plus they have bred large koi with large koi to create these jumbo koi
