      "Reference question"--

      -- gee, since I am a "librarian" in REAL LIFE, do you think that I may include this as a "query" tomorrow when the library re-opens for business (I should get "over time", right)?!?!!

      Glad to have been of help to you in your "research!"

      Enjoy the other "critter" for dinner and have a great remainder of your day!
      Oy! Koi.

      Question addendum: "DOITSU" (forgot to add this to:) Sapphire blue koi!

      Was heading down to take care of THE BIRD... and I realized I forgot the most important aspect of the fish...DOITSU

      ... appologies to all concerned,
      ... especially "its
      DOITSU-ness" -- the fish!

      I have this fish's exact opposite: yours is an Ochiba that didn't develop any patches of orange, mine is completely covered in orange, there is no blue showing through...

      Maybe these two should get together and see if they can breed back to "true" ;-)

      This is the closest I have had to a blue koi. As you can see, as a baby it was more blue, now it is more along the lines of a dark grey. Still a great fish, and growing well in the last year and a half.

      This little guy had blue initially too....


      getting bigger now....

      I always wanted a blue koi

      I always wanted a blue koi but was told they didnt exist and the only blue-ish koi I would find is an asagi. I often see what my local koi breeder has for sale and I found they had a TON of small ROYAL blue and orange and silver doitsu for sale. I was blown away and had to have one since they supposedly didnt exist. I wanted a solid blue with the doitsu silver only but now wish I would have bought the one with the perfect round and centered orange dot just like a Tancho on its head. It was blue with the same silver doitsu markings but with the bright metallic orange dot just like a tancho. I should have bought both. The only thing is that he seems to be fading. Is this what you have found with yours too? Here is what it looks like if I can get the pic to work.

      I have my 10' inches Asagi on March 07'. But the color becomes darker as it grows.
