    What variety is my koi ? The big debate ?

    Hi I'm a new pond owner of about 1 year now, I'm quite a young pond owner I think of 22 years old, I have a koi that I have a had for a while now that I'm pretty sure is a female, she's my most favourite fish and is as friendly as anything, she lets me pick her up out of the water by hand to check her and put her back in but I don't have a clue what variety she is, I have showed photos to loads of fish breeders near me and currently I have been told many of different things, so I've been told that is may be a red chagoi, a benigoi, a orenji ogon, and just lately a aka Matsuba, she is quite bright in the sun but as u see by the photos she's quite dark in the shade of that makes any sense,

    also so I explained earlier that she lets me pick her up out of the water to check her, that's because she has had an underlying problem since I've had her pretty much of fin rot, I have tried everything e.g. Salting the Water on 2 different occasions, I have acraflavin also tested the pond water and is fine and all other fish are fine with no signs of it, I also have 2 different ointments that I actually put onto the fish itself, I really don't want to loose the fish as it's my absolute favourite and I feel like I'm getting nowhere the Ray is now exposed and I don't have the confidence to trim it myself, so didn't know if anyone around my area could come round and help me I would really appreciate all the help, I like Cambridgeshire(huntingdon)

    thank you

    Had similar problem with a matsuba I kept her in heated hospital tank and used the antibacterial spray with the powder and activator to stay it in, there's a few different brands to choose from but eBay does a complete kit, just have to keep repeating till it's fixed, mine had hole in it's back at base of dorsal fin , but now she's perfect again
