Not an easy choice but I think I'd go for the middle one.
Top one second choice.
Well done for winning.... I couldn't even win a goldfish at the fair.

It's a weird one lol one day it's sulky and looks at deaths door then it perks up and looks fighting fit, but still has a white dusty look to it, and your missing nothing mate it's personal preference if every one only liked the same thing no one would have their unique collection

I don't think its a Hariwake....
Doitsu Hariwake will never have any black on it.
But now I said that I need to guess what it is, and I'm not sure! I think it looks a bit like a Kikokuryu of some kind, maybe even a Kin Kikokuryu, but the black on yours isn't on the face:
Attachment 27859
So it could be a Yamato Nishiki or Heisei Nishiki (Had to google that - Its the Doitsu version) which is some kind of Sanke / Platinum Ogon cross and the black sanke type markings on yours supports this (Yours is much nicer than this one mind):
Attachment 27860
Be worth finding out who the breeder is because Kase crosses Doitsu Metallic Ochibas with various things that produce off-spring like that so it could be a Doitsu Sanke crossed with a Doitsu Metallic Ochiba, but there's almost certainly some platinum ogon in there somewhere.
Lol.... Confusing myself now!
Why did I even start this post, I give up, don't have a clue what it is, but I think its definitely not a Hariwake.Last edited by RS2OOO; 18-05-2019 at 05:42 AM.

I think I was right..... Just Googled "Kase Yamato Nishiki" and this came up which looks strikingly similar to yours:
Yamato Nishiki- Koi For Sale
Attachment 27861
If you can find out who the breeder is, and if it is Kase, then I reckon that's the answer.
I love Kase's Koi.... Just bought this one, fish L, and again, not entirely dissimilar to your middle one above:

Nice one AJ. I like the orange one.
Tell you the truth. I like them all.
But to choose only one. Orange one

would definitely say its a yamo which basically a metallic Sanke but the sumi is not as defined as a scaled sanke have kept several of these I have been to Wimborne koi was quite impressed. I believe they get their stocks from Garry at Gatwick.
