Description Nearly Full Body Orange Coverage Developed Through Focused Breeding Our High Coverage Orange Koi Angelfish represent years of focused selective breeding aimed at achieving the deepest, most intense orange coverage possible. Where most Koi angelfish fall into the Deluxe Tri-Color range of 25 to 75% orange coverage, our High Coverage Orange Koi are selected specifically for near full body orange coloration with little to no white remaining as adults. We are now consistently achieving close to 100% coverage, a goal that has taken many years of dedicated breeding to reach. Importantly, this color is developed naturally. We do not rely on heavy doses of astaxanthin supplements or Carophyll Pink to achieve these results. Our fish are raised on our own quality pellets and flakes, and their color will not fade in your tank when maintained on an appropriate diet. Caring for Your High Coverage Orange Koi Colors will continue to develop and intensify through all stages of growth, with fully mature adults displaying the most deep and saturated orange coloring. To help your fish reach their full color potential we recommend the following: Diet: Foods containing natural shrimp or krill ingredients provide the natural astaxanthin needed to develop and maintain orange tones without artificial supplementation. Heavy carotene loading is not required. Environment: These fish require a healthy, uncrowded environment to reach their full color potential. We also recommend a dark substrate and dark background as this helps to highlight and intensify the orange tones significantly. Some of our High Coverage Orange Koi packed and ready to ship.
