Matsuba Gold Hikari Muji is a plain koi fish that glows all over but has no patterns. However, the fish with black scales is also regarded as a bare land and is called Pine Leaf Gold. Matsuba Gold is also known as Golden Matsuba (Kinmatsu ba), and koi in the empty carp system are called Gin matsuba. The name Matsuba Gold, it is said that in the 35th year of the Showa era (1960), Eisaburo Maano of Iwamagi, Masaru Kataashi once bred a light yellow female carp with a golden male carp to produce Matsuba male carp, and gave the calamus system gold. (It is named after the place name of the calamus in Yamagoshi Village) The mating output of female carp is the starting point.

The koi produced are red on the top and lower abdomen, with red luster on the head and fins, and the body is reddish-brown pine leaf gold. But at the age of 2, it began to turn black and turned into a red koi. The pine leaf gold that has been common in recent years is an improved type. The characteristic of pine leaf gold is that the body itself glows, and the fish scales on the body have black spots like pine leaves. Although it is a golden species, if the pine leaf carp is arranged in disorder, it will not work.

Golden Pine Leaf Golden Pine Leaf is another name for Pine Leaf Gold. It is the characteristic of the golden species showing the brown-brown system. It is the meaning of golden Pine Leaf. There are various types of Golden Pine Leaf with a strong white skin tone to a thin Shanbuki color (golden yellow), but the golden pine leaves have been improved in recent years, and those with bald heads and strong brilliance are the mainstream, but they may be too inclined towards the mountain blowing color (golden yellow) The pine leaf pattern is weakened.

Silver pine leaves Silver pine leaves means silver (empty carp) plus pine leaves. The beauty of silver pine leaves is exactly the same as that of golden pine leaves. The head and the top of the back should be made of platinum as the base, the pectoral fins should shine like a silver fan, and the luster of the covering wheel should extend as far as possible to the abdomen, so that it can be considered as a high-quality product.

German Gold German Gold is said to be a variety founded by Tomisaku Sakai of the insect turtle in the 33rd year of the Showa era (1958). Sakai produced German gold by mating female German black carp with glowing pectoral fins with golden male carp produced by Nagaji Lang's in Tochio. Originally, the original shape of German gold was bright yellow, but it was called German gold in comparison with the golden carp. German gold is based on mirror carp, so the large scales on the back and two abdomens are wonderful, but in the pond, the scales are particularly shining. On the other hand, the leather carp German yellow with degraded fish scales is like a metal processing model, but no matter how shiny, it is slightly inferior to the mirror carp in taste. The armored carp with large scales stacked on top of each other has no appreciation value, no matter how brilliant it is. German carp focuses on the beauty of the scale row.

German Yamabuki The German carp of German Gold and Yambuki Gold is called German Yamabuki. Yamabuki is the flower of Ditang, which means golden yellow.

The German species of German rat gold rat gray gold is called German rat gold, which is used as parent carp when producing mutant carp.

German Platinum The German species of platinum gold carp is called German Platinum.

German orange gold Most of the orange yellow gold carp belong to the German species.

Arhat·Silver Arhat The jet-black German gold carp produced from German gold is called Arhat, and the one with its silver luster is called Silver Arhat. It appeared in the 1930s of the Showa era (1955), and its dorsal top and pectoral fins emit a dark brown luster, like an antique woodcut Buddha statue. In the 33rd year of the Showa era (1958), Hisakusaku Fusawa of Nanhegong used the Golden Pocket (Kin Kabut golden helmet) female carp to mate with a German three-color male carp. Dacheng, I have hardly seen it in recent years.

German Black Carp When the German gold seedlings are harvested, many German black carp will be produced. But most of them are dark and low-quality goods, and they are not worthy of being called glorious Arhats. They are the inferior carps that were eliminated and discarded during screening.

Pine Leaf Gold is a German species of pine leaf golden carp, which is also known as the German golden pine leaf. The German scales on the back appear in the shape of pine leaves, and each scale is lightly black. Because the scales are large, it is a bold impression. The German species of mirror carp (spiegel katpfen) has beautiful scales as the primary condition. If there are superimposed scales or large scales, even if the brilliance is good, its appreciation value will be reduced. In addition, compared with the German species, the golden species has a stronger heritability, and when the carp system (the system inherent in Japan) is mated with the German species, the large scales characteristic of the German species are easily lost, even if there are large scales. Most of them have the same color as the muscle or become a leather carp (Leder Karpden).

The German Golden Pine Leaf is another name for the German Pine Leaf Gold.

The German Silver Pine Leaf refers to the German species of the rat-grey golden carp as German Silver Pine Leaf.

Mizuho Gold is orange-yellow German pine leaf gold, specially called Mizuho Gold.

Light pattern Light patterns with more than 2 colors are called light patterns, but do not include light writing in the writing system. And only the pine leaf gold with black scales is regarded as light without ground (Hi ?Ckari Muji). Light pattern can be distinguished into pattern type and sticker type. Pattern types are produced by mating golden carp with koi outside the writing system. For example: platinum red and white, Yamato brocade, jincui, pine, bamboo and plum, peacock gold, German peacock, cherry blossom gold, silver light, tiger gold, etc. produce many species.

On the other hand, the classification of stickers is represented by the light class of gold and silver stickers. Starting with the gold and empty carp stick points, there are still Yomabuki Hatiwake, orange stick points, etc., but when it is called XX stick points, its other color must be It is white gold.

Platinum red and white The red and white variety is called Platinum Red and White, and it is a variety that adds brilliance to red and white. The color of platinum is strong and the shimmering wheel is very gorgeous, but it can hardly produce the best. The bald head is white gold, especially the beautiful red plate, which is very noble, but its disadvantage is that it gradually turns into a persimmon color as it grows.

Platinum, red and white are conclusive naming, which was named in later generations. The koi in this system can be regarded as the Golden Fuji, which is the predecessor of the golden carp, so it should be divided with the rising star Platinum Red and White.

Sakura Gold adds luster to the koi (Kanoko Kohaku) called Sakura Gold: (Sakura Gold). Golden Sakura and Goten Sakura cover the wheel will glow, because they contain deer spots, it is easy to be confused.

Yawa Nishiki Yawa Nishiki appeared for the first time in the jury meeting of Takezawa in Showa 40 (1965). It was created by Shikoshi Hoshino of Takezawa Village. It is said that it took more than three generations for more than ten years to produce the carp. Hoshino first mated Light Yellow with Jindou (Golden Helmet) to produce a radiant light five-color female-like koi, and then paired this female with a red-spotted cherry blossom golden male of the platinum system. The carps mate, and as a result, koi of the five-color system that glows with the characteristics of the Taisho three-color system are produced. Among these koi, the female carp with white ground and black pattern is specially selected as parent carp. Then, it mates with Sakura Gold with a crimson peony pattern to produce the target parent carp. The current Yamato brocade is defined as the Taisho three-colored platinum with sufficient additions, but recently, it has been able to produce the best products with strong crimson and beautiful jet black quality.

Gu Zhijin In the autumn of Showa 43 (1968), Gu Zhijin was produced for the first time at the evaluation meeting of Kochiya City, Japan, which attracted attention. It is a variety produced by Hoshino Sejiji of Takezawa Village. It is produced by the mating of German Gold and Silver Showa, and almost all of them are German species. The reason why the light writing of the German species is mixed with the light appearance is unknown. Yamato brocade is the Taisho three-color plus platinum, and Guzhi brocade is the Taisho three-color plus gold, but the appearance of the juvenile carp is the same and difficult to identify.

Yinbieguang The white tortoiseshell produced by mating with platinum is called Yinbieguang, and the pattern appears in the same arrangement as the white one.

Tiger Gold Tiger Gold is a light type of Yellow Bie Light. The koi with black patterns on the back of the golden carp are called tiger gold.
