      Hi 92
      Yes it's a long fin koi but I don't think the fins are gonna be very long.If it was metalic then it would be a kujaku but its not metalic.Its a Nezu Goshiki.

      Goshiki
      people like to vehemently defend their purchases and find it incredulous that anything could be better

      Or, it's just a poor representation of a Kujaku. I happen to agree with you, the head looks too metallic to be a Goshiki. It needs time to grow/develop before anything more than "speculation" is made.
