Naturally, the Shusui caught my eye! (lol)

I love chagoi tho and that red or real light green are my favorites. They do
turn darker with harder GH/KH water and also they will turn black in area where they are bruised or joseled in transit.

My guess is your koi that your considering is male. I'd like to see you get a female because they get so big and friendly but maybe you pond is really not that big.

It sounds like your drawn to the koi so why don't you consider getting it and trying to do the best by it and learning from it. The prettiest one i ever saw like that was a GR red. It was named Cathy after the dealer's wife and looked for all the world to be a female. Yup, turned out to be a male.(lol)
