Cyprinus carpio × Cyprinus carpio var. (hybrid)
Origin: Captive bred
A large jumbo Ghost Koi with a well-developed metallic face and deep, dark body patterning that creates a ghostly, otherworldly appearance in pond water. Ghost Koi are a cross between wild mirror carp and metallic Ogon koi, inheriting fast growth rates, exceptional hardiness, and that distinctive metallic glimmer over dark scaling. Their robust constitution makes them a favourite for large Belgian and Dutch water garden projects.
Best suited to large, well-filtered garden ponds of at least 5,000 L. Water temperature 4–26°C; fully cold-hardy through Northern European winters. Maintain good aeration and biological filtration to handle the heavy bioload of jumbo-grade fish. Feed quality koi pellets adjusted by season; reduce feeding as temperature drops below 10°C and stop below 5°C. Compatible with other large koi and pond fish.
