What a wonderful gift. When wives start giving koi, you know you are doing something right.... but it also means the gift koi must remain in the pond for its full life!
The photo makes it appear yellowish in the fins. She is on the thin side. I'm guessing she was fed color-enhancing foods to intensify the red with the side effect of yellowing the whites. If this is the cause, in time the yellow will reduce and the red will become less intense. Some will be concerned that the red will be uneven as the color-enhancement gets out of her system. Time will tell. If the colors are not enhanced, then the yellow is a distraction, but may indicate a higher potential for the Hi to remain intensely red.
Altogether, not a candidate for a prize at a show, but a beautiful addition to your pond. She will get a lot of attention.
