    None are really for me, but if I had to pick one probably A

    Not really any that stand out for me, but if I had to have one it would be either f or G.

    I'm yet to learn more about picking brilliant koi, past, current and future am still most likely to pick a koi I like the colours of. I'm sure one day I might learn a bit more about the other factors I should be considering, but the 1st thing for me currently is the colours and a pattern that stands out.

    is that because they are the only ones you can see the dorsal in all its glory, I also looked at those three, but unsure if it was just because both sides are visible, as opposed to any special quality

    Same here unfortunately.

    Body shapes aren't pretty. They all look very shallow bodied.

    If I had to buy one it would be C for the body, D for the skin and A for the pattern.
