It takes sunshine and rain to make a rainbow!
Here's one....an 18 inch Sumi Nagashi....some might say Matsukawabake, but breeder says otherwise. Believe it translates to spilled ink or something along those lines. Don't see many of these.
About the time you get old enough to realize your father was a smart man, you have a teenager telling you just how stupid you are. :D
Another...not as uncommon as some, but good specimens hard to find. This is a 17 inch Doitsu Hi Utsuri,

One I used to have ...a 15 inch Ginga.....was the friendliest koi I ever owned. Developed a tumor...we operated but could not remove....she eventually died.

Dan..those are beautiful koi.
Not sure it's all that "unique" or unusual, but it is a very dark Ochiba. When I bought it off ebay (knew the lister) they had it down as a magoi..uh huh... When I picked it up I could see it was an ochiba, but it was hard to see the spots. I love how it's developed and the head color is gorgeous! Anticipating it getting bigger!!
I would call thata Unique!!!Originally Posted by Cowiche Ponder
Very Beautimuzzz!!!

I like them all, can't wait to see more pictures here.
Unusual as in went from ugly to uglier! Spouse bought an ugly-as-all-get-out Showa when he was in a koi-buying frenzy in our early koi days. A couple of summers after we bought him, he got a bacterial infection: fin rot, ulcers, scales sticking out, you name it. I decided to try out my Nurse Koi skills on him for practice. I put him in QT tank, swabbed his wounds with Hydrogen Peroxide, dipped him in Tricide-Neo, and treated him with Formalin / Malachite green. I tried it all (at the same time ) literally! Well, that son of a gun lived! I was so proud. Over the next few weeks, he thanked me for my Dr. Quinn, medicine woman, routine by getting even uglier! Almost all of the hi disappeared - he looked bald! Unfortunately (fortunately?) he succumbed during the great hailstorm disaster of 2005. Yes, the rest of my koi are much nicer, thank you very much. :thumbsup:

Thanks Dan...it's one of my favorites.

When I saw this picture I thought it was my fish! May I ask where who is the breeder?
Sorry I don't know how to post questions here. When I saw the picture of your Sumi Nagashi I thought it was my fish. May I ask who is the breeder?
Dan that first fish you posted (Sumi Nagashi) is absolutely stunning!!! I bet it is so pretty to see swimming in the pond. Very very pretty. May I save the picture to paint at some time?

Don't walk ahead of me, I may not follow
Don't walk behind me, I may not lead
Just walk by my side and be my friend.
This one isn't mine but I thought it was unusual. They said some koi look like people.
