I've had my boy Pompeii for about 2 weeks now. He's gotten way more vibrant and is very active, but I gotta ask, are thse stress stripes or just the way he's colored? They are not on his other side, just the one in the picture. ​And if they are stress stripes, what do I do?

  1. According to a quick google search these look more like breeding stripes to me, but I’m no expert. I believe stress stripes go along the fish horizontally, and breeding stripes vertically.

    It’s not breeding stripes or stress stripes, it’s just part of his koi pattern! Very pretty boy!
