Body Markings are part of the way Koi are judged and valued as prize fish.

Hi "hee" - Hi is any red pattern on the body of a Koi. Millions of possible Hi combinations exist. In order to classify fish the color patterns are divided into "Steps." A step is defined by a color Hi that is unbroken and defined by deep pure color with edges that are crisp and not mottled into white or pearl.

Straight Hi: A continuous Hi that wanders over the entire body. A 1 step Hi pattern.

Inazuma

Inazuma: Interconnected red Hi pattern that resembles a lighting bolt. A 1 step Hi pattern.

Nidan: Ni is two in Japanese: A 2 step Hi pattern. Two islands of red color that are not interconnected.

Sandan

Sandan: San is three in Japanese: A 3 step Hi pattern. Three islands of red color that are not interconnected.

Yondan

Shidan: Shi is four in Japanese: A 4 step Hi pattern. Four islands of red color that are not interconnected.

Godan: Go is 5 in Japanese: A 5 step Hi pattern. A Godan is rare.

RESTRICTED PLANTS: Some states have bans on certain pond plants. Check the USDA Noxious Plants website prior to purchase. The buyer needs to beware of any regulations on plants that may be restricted. If your order gets confiscated by your state agriculture department we cannot be held responsible.

CLIMATE VARIATIONS: We guarantee our plants will arrive alive and healthy. Pond Plants grow differently depending on where you live. If you took pond plants of the same type, and planted them in different parts of the USA, each plant would grow differently. This is Mother Nature at work. We cannot guarantee that your climate will support long term growth as this varies by location. With experience you will find which pond plants thrive in your USDA Zone. Join our Pond, Watergarden and Plant Forum and ask some questions before you buy is the best advice we can give you.

SUBSTITUTIONS: We reserve the right to substitute similar plants of equal or greater value unless you specifically request otherwise in the remarks section of your order. This happens almost never though, and if it does happen it is usually in regard to floating and submerged oxygenation plants.
