      Help with Koi Identification

      Hello friends,
      This will be my first post here. I've recently begun care taking a pond with 8 koi (of various age) and 6 small fry (8-9 months or so.) I'm quickly falling in love with them and their many personalities and I've been enjoying reading and researching their origins and their individual types. I'd like to ask for help in identifying several of them whom are less obvious than the others. I have a few ideas but first please let me know what you think.
      Thank you warmly
      -Arpan

      The first one is a shusui unless a more experienced member says otherwise. The ones with the longer fins is a butterfly koi and it will be years, if ever, before they are recognized as on par with the original or 'true' koi. All of them are pond grade but I can't offer type names for the others.
