      I'm trying to figure this out there are just so many variants that resemble one another and I'm sure being of lesser quality doesn't make it any easier ... Just want to put names to faces

      There are two types of fish scales: wagoi (regular scaled) or doitsu (no scales or large "armour" scales).
      The scales can be regular or gin rin, which has an iridescent, reflective quality. I think that there are 4 or 5 different types of GR.
      Everything before the variety of the fish is simply descriptive.

      GR and doitsu are very rarely used together to describe a fish...

      No.
      These are examples of GR fish. GR only applies to the scales.
      If the skin, head of maybe fins of the fish looks opalescent, it is referred to as metallic.

      As indicated earlier, doitsu GR is a relatively rare trait...the giant doitsu scales need to be GR. Here are a few examples. In the group pic, it is the Shusui that is Doitsu GR.

      Ok I see the difference in the GR now....

      Well this next one has me stumped; again its probably the quality that hides the true identify of the fish from my novice eyes but I was thinking Hi bekko at first and then Showa maybe? None the less it is a Butterfly... I don't know if you can tell but I love butterflies!! Oh and its Wagoi
