In most parts of the world, pond owners prefer to get a koi fish as a primary decoration for their ponds as they are easy to take care of and that its beauty helps accentuate the beauty of their ponds through its wonderful and vibrant colors. Among all the koi types, a lot of professionals and breeders choose the Asagi breed because they claim that it is finest and most elegant type of koi.
Asagi koi is defined by its blue-colored back and belly. Its fins and gills can sometimes be covered with the same color and often embellished with red markings on the side of its belly.

Asagi koi is can be distinguished by its net pattern which makes a perfect line in their scales.
If this pattern is somehow crooked or imperfect, the value of the koi is depreciated.Its primary color is blue, and it goes up to its lateral line. Its scales have a red coloring from its underside that continues to its side. On some occasion, the red marking is also evident on its fins, gill cover, and mouth which highlight more of its beauty and elegance.
There are times that this type of koi can also have a color variation. This is because of the type of breed that they are crossbred from. They can be dark-blue and can also be blue-gray. The most liked variation though by the breeders is that of koi with light blue color.
If you intend to collect this koi type, here are some tips that might be helpful to you when you get one.
