Ghost Koi Cyprinius Carpio. Bred from crossbreeding
Commons, Mirrors or Leathers with ornamental Koi Carp. Some
anglers report that these are a harder fighting variety of fish.
Ghost Koi can take on the scale patterns of any of the fish above,
but show colorings like the one shown. The `brightness` and shades of
the markings can vary greatly, from very bright and apparent, to dull
and not so apparent.
I'm not aware of any place in North America where Ghost Koi Carp are
found. If you have caught one or know of waters where they may be
located, please let me know. I would like to list those locations
on this website.
