You are reading an article he wrote for a magazine called Young Fish-Keepers. My First Fish Tom Pescatore I joined the Newmans Koi Club when I was 13, and as part of my club’s tradition, the president went with me to buy my first fish. I used money I received for my birthday and purchased a 15 cm baby ghost koi. She now lives with other members’ fish in the clubhouse tank. I love my fish, and still read everything I can about ghosts. Although not well known in Japan, they became widely owned by UK koi keepers in the 1980s. Ghosts are a hybrid type of fish. My ghost’s father was a Japanese ogon koi, and her mother was a wild mirror carp. Ghosts grow quickly, and she was 85 cm and 12 kg within a couple of years. Ghosts are less likely to get sick and they can survive for more than 40 years. Mine is now a gorgeous, four-year-old, mature, platinum ghost Ghosts are not considered as valuable as their famous "pure-bred" Japanese cousins, so usually don’t cost much. This makes them affordable for a 13 year old with birthday present money. The most striking parts of my ghost are her metallic head and flashy pectoral fins that sparkle in the sunlight.
