6. When you finally spawn
your first generation of
newly-bred Koi fish, it’s

7. Certain fish won’t look great and
won’t be good to sell to breeders
or homeowners and just need to
be removed to ensure you
maintain the genetic stock.
Because of that, it’s important to
cull out the ones that meet your
criteria (and to do it humanely and
quickly).
