Ben m 0 Posted September 8, 2010 Report Share Posted September 8, 2010 Def not fakes, Japanese blokes keep em that size as pets in dam sized ponds, crystal clear too. Good quality koi in Asia can fetch rediculous amounts of money. Awesome lookin fish. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Damobeer 0 Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 Def a massive koi, seen them approaching 20lb in the UK. Goldfish don't have barbules by their mouths and the biggest I've heard of is around 8lb (although the larger ones are usually brown, not gold). Imagine the size of the goldfish bowl in that bloke's bedroom! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
