Dear cecil,
I read somewhere that the Koi with red or black marks on their head are considered inauspicious. Is it true. Thanks.

Dear Anon,
For fishes, more importantly is the number of fishes kept.
Here, there are three common methods:-
1. Based on one's Gua number or
or
2. The element of the breadwinner. Here each element has a number.
or
3. Some prefer 8 or 9 fishes.
Another important point is to avoid using pyramid shaped fish tank.
Some of the koi species have red and black markings. These are acceptable. Here, one can add a few other species such as `Tancho' e.g. with a circular patch on its forehead...
In my opinion, the red and black markings is no issue.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil
