Hi Carol & everyone
Could do with a little help on exactly what thes koi are,everyone can chip in with there views, must admit i,m not 100% sure onÂ* them just need confirmation so here we go
Pic 1Â* very dark with gold reflective scales,Would most dealers or hobbiest class as dark ginrin or kinrin chagoi
Pic 2 I thought this was a kumonryu when it first went in tank,but now its not so shy can see its ascaled koi with underlying sumi soon to appear i hope I think possibly will be a Becko what do you all think.
Pic 3 Again a vey dark koi not metalic at all , Has very dark patches of Brown as you can probaly make out
looks to dark to be ochiba ,what do you,s reckon,and will it lighten up with age
pic 4 now i like this koi once again a scaled koi,the sumi does not seem right to make it a becko,or shiro
the sumi is more of a charcoal not deep black ,it sort has a goromo look to it but wrong colours.Ps this koi also has one very small red patch on side can be seen in pic.
pic 5 nearly there ,This one is doistu,very light blue skin,shusui look to it without the orange/red patches
Pic 6 finally Doistu MatsubaÂ* Or Hariwake i think first one
May be some of you other dealers on here or hobbiest could reccomend a very good book which has all the varieties in not just the norm.
Now for the sales pitch All these koi are for sale and can be found on my website or email for sizes & prices Cheers Richard,
