These 5 individuals are N TO Q-size. In addition to their �black peppering� is almost completely shed. By the time they hit sexual maturity, they will have had already completed their color development. However, it isn't unusual for my kois to continue color-evolving up to their 14th month (under the assumption that you'll play your part and exercise best-koi-husbandry practices, of course). The carotenoid-color enabled body areas include those that are not white-white but cream in addition to the already orange. In otherwords, rest-assured, they have not yet reached their full potential and so you can bank on way deeper colors ahead. Lastly, these are a mix of 2 of my flagship lineages; red-orange develops succeeding the "orange-phase" (though some are already beginning to transition).

I will accept Postal Money Orders in lieu of PayPal but it has to be PRE-ARRANGED prior to bidding NOT AFTER you win the auction. PayPal E-Check must be pre-arranged. Order will be processed when E-Check clears, including scheduling. SHIPPING OPTIONS INCLUDING FEDEX, UPS, USPS, OR YOUR ARRANGEMENT (ALL WITH LAG ON 24HR. CLASS OF SERVICE � SPECIFICS ON LAG DOCUMENT). If you want a quick quote on shipping your zip will do however, please understand that it will have an accuracy deviation of +/- 20% due to zoning type, locale access , and carrier presence. If you�d like a close to 100% accuracy I will need your full preferred shipping address (home, work or other location). If you select USPS, best contact your local PO to ensure that it supports a Guaranteed 24 Hr, Class of Service since I have found their website qualifier to be somewhat inaccurate. HAWAII Residents MUST acquire a permit from the Hawaii State Dept of Agriculture. If you are unable to secure a legal permit, please do not bid on my auctions.

Lastly, you may request to review our full LIVE ARRIVAL GUARANTEE (LAG) prior to bidding.

HOUSE OF ORANGE KOIS

For those unfamiliar with my Kois, they were developed some 12yrs ago using imported non-Koi bloodlines from Asia and Europe. This means that I developed them independent of existing lineages and to date they remain as 1 of 4 independent Koi lineages in the US. If you�re a Koi enthusiast, you�ll most likely know who the other 3 are (though one appears to have possibly gone extinct....and it ain't mine either).

If you�re a casual hobbyist, this won�t matter but if you breed angels, this is significant and key to why they're excellent out-cross material. Alternatively, they can be used as foundation stock for a Koi breeding program. It's no wonder why the majority of my Koi customers here and elsewhere are either professional breeders themselv es as well as hobbyist-breeders.

Note: Tiger Orange Kois - 3 phases, Vermilion Kois - 4 phases, Sunset Blushings - 2 to 3 (doesn�t have a phase 1 and transitory phases are dependent on whether they came from Tigers or Verms), Vermilion Marble Blushings � 4 (extended color development timeframe compared to any of the above).
