Banyak orang beranggapan bahwa untuk bisa mendapatkan koi ukuran jumbo maka kolam harus mempunyai kedalaman 2 meter.Mungkin benar kalau anda adalah petani koi, kedalaman 2 meter merupakan upaya untuk mempercepat pembesaran koi menjadi jumbo.Tetapi apakah semua hobiis mau mengorbankan keasyikan menikmati koi yang dibeli dengan harga relatif mahal dengan menempatkan koinya di kolam 2 meter?
Menurut saya sih tidak semua orang mau,karena selain biaya,kita akan kesulitan melihat koi dengan kedalaman kolam seperti itu.Sebenarnya ada yang lebih penting dari membuat kolam lebih dalam, yaitu bagaimana membuat kualitas air tetap bagus meskipun hujan pertama mendera.Jadi kolam bisa saja cuma sedalam 1 meter atau 80cm tetapi dengan kualitas air yang baik,kemungkinan koi menjadi jumbo bisa terjadi.Ada beberapa ahli mengatakan bahwa koi jumbo adalah bawaan gen.Jadi buat apa susah-susah men"jumbo"kan koi yang kita tidak tahu asal-usulnya ?
Dengan kolam sedalam maksimal 1 meter kita masih bisa menikmati liukkan koi kesayangan dan masih bisa maintenance air secara maximal.Di tempat saya kolam cuma sedalam 75cm,tp koi masih bisa berkembang.memang tidak maksimal,tapi cukup baik untuk hobiis yang ingin melihat perkembangan koinya.Apalagi rata-rata penghobiis tidak mau berlama-lama memelihara koi sampe bertahun-tahun.Begitu ukuran 40 atau 50 cm,mereka kebanyakan akan melakukan pergantian koi dengan ukuran 25-30cm.Ini umum terjadi di Indonesia.
Jadi inti tulisan saya adalah bahwa kolam koi tidak perlu terlalu dalam,bisa saja cuma 70cm,tapi dengan filtrasi bagus maka bisa didapat koi dengan warna dan tubuh yang bagus.Makanan bagus tidak akan berpengaruh banyak pada koi yang memang kualitas sedang.Pilihlah kolam yang sesuai dengan kolam anda dan pilihlah pakan yang sesuai dengan koi anda.

KAWARIMONO

An article by Douglas Dahl entitled 'Koi Classification and Judging Criteria' has given a good description of what this large koi category covers. Quoting the article:

"Included are all of the Karasugoi or crow carp family that are black with various white markings on the body and fins. Depending on how much white you have Hajiro (black with white only on the tail and pectoral fin tips), Hageshiro (black with white on tail and pectoral fin tips and on the head), Yotsushiro (Hageshiro with all white head),Kumonryu (Doitsu koi with killer whale pattern) and Matsukawabake (koi that changes from black to gray depending on water temperature forming a net black pattern).

There is a very new koi that has been put into Kawarimono due to lack of a better place because it is metallic and does not belong in Kawarimono. This is the Bene(red)Kumonryu called Kikokuryu. It is a metallic Kumonryu with a red pattern. It probably should be moved to Hikarimoyo because the black looks metallic so it has black, white and red metallic colors.

Next in favor is Goshiki meaning 5 colors that are white with a red Kohaku pattern and two shades of blue and black netting not only on the red but also on the white. Cool water makes the colors darken. It is important for Goshiki to have a clean red and white head with no sumi markings.

The next favorite is the Chagoi or brown/green tea colored carp. These koi grow fast and very large and become the favorite in the pond by their gluttony. Also in solid colors are the Kigoi (yellow koi), Soragoi (gray blue koi), Midorigoi (green koi), Benigoi(red koi), Aka Hijiro ( red koi with white fin tips) and Shiro Muji (white koi).

Next is a very recent cross between Chagoi and Kohaku or Asagi called OchibaShigure. This koi reminds people of autumn leaves because the hi shows up as a bright mustard pattern on a gray body with black netting over the whole body. TheDoitsu version of Ochiba Shigure has been called “antique” due to the colors.

The next group is the Kanoko group. Kanoko means “fawn” describing a dappled Kohaku red pattern that looks like cherry blossoms. This group includes KanokoKohaku, Kanoko Sanke and Kanoko Showa.

The next group are the Kage (robed)group. They include Kage Shiro Utsuri, Kage HiUtsuri, and Kage Showa.

The last group are the non-metallic Matsuba koi. They are Aka (red) Matsuba, KiMatsuba and Shiro Matsuba. There are also Doitsu versions of all of the above."
