Koi are bearded, if it is determined that the fish is koi, it must have beard. If the koi does not have a beard, it may be because the external force causes the beard to break, or because the maintenance time in the ornamental fish tank is too long, the beard slowly degenerates. The function of koi beard is to distinguish taste, equivalent to human taste buds, because in the ornamental fish tank for too long, there is no need to distinguish taste, so the beard will slowly degenerate.
Koi have a beard. The whiskers of Koi will continue to grow with age. As long as the water quality is good and the environment is good, the koi will grow healthily, and the beard will naturally grow longer and healthier.
Koi beard can be regenerated, if it is caused by collision fracture, generally between three months to half a year to grow out, if the root is also broken, the beard is likely not to grow out. If the beard falls off because of illness, it will grow out after the disease is completely cured. It should be noted that during the period of broken beard of Koi, water should be changed frequently to ensure water quality, so that the wound will not be infected, and the beard will grow out as soon as possible.
