Does anyone know what my Koi are?

[pilau]

I'm new here and new to raising Koi. I have 10 total and was wondering if anyone could tell me what any of them are. I know I have one Kohaku and the rest I'm not really sure. Any help would be appreciated. Also ages would be cool to know.

Ummmm...do you have a pond for them? They don't stay that size, you know... As for variety, it's hard to tell without clear pics, but it looks like you have a doitsu in there and maybe an ogon or two. Where did you purchase them?

From a local dealer/breeder in Hilo Hawaii his name is George Sakai. I am building a pond for them soon. Which would be the Doitsu and the ogon? I will try to get clearer pics when can.

The solid white or yellow ones are probably ogons--platinum and yamabuki. 3rd pic down, the middle fish with the yellow spots and a row of scales down its back is the doitsu, but I can't tell you what kind of doitsu it is. Any that have leather skin instead of scales are doitsu. Your dealer would know better than I, or anyone looking at just a pic on a screen, what the fish are. Might want to visit him and ask to positively identify them.

Good luck with your pond building endeavor,

Marie

Yes but he also brings in fish from california from a place called dolphin something. Mine are from there. As far as a pond, it should be done in a few weeks. I hope. I have them hand feeding now.They are awesome but was just curious about what they were. He said the second set I got was class A Koi. not that it matters to me. They are my buddies
