Questions that make the comparison useful
Decide whether Japanese import provenance is part of your requirement. UK-bred fish with Japanese parentage and koi bred in Japan are different purchasing propositions; both should be described accurately. Compare the individual fish's recorded origin, breeder and current appearance.
Ask for the date of a photograph or measurement where it matters. Development stories can be useful evidence, but they cannot guarantee that another koi will develop identically.
