      A few more residents of my pond, not sure on some ID's

      Hi all,

      Some of these I'm pretty sure on, others not so sure. Any help on if I'm wrong or if I have a hidden gem is appreciated.
      Apologies for the algae in the images, they were taken during my spring clean and inspection.
      When I bought this one I thought it was a doitsu hariwake butterfly, but he began developing those sumi splotches so not sure now:

      Platinum Ogon, pretty sure the greying is due to my water's ph:

      Doistu shusui, the red in the tail was a injury from netting that has since healed

      The big hariwake butterfly in the pond, the greying is becoming more pronounced the bigger he gets

      My other hariwake, when I bought him he didn't have the white edges to his scales. That happened as he grew.

      My newest doistu shusui butterfly. Curious about if I'm right in the classification and if this one might be a hidden gem.

      Aren’t all koi gems? ��

      On a more serious note, I’m no good at IDing koi. But your doistu shusui reminds me of a koi I lost. He was one of my favorites. So beautiful.
      Your new addition is also very lovely.

      I like the Platinum Ogon, body confirmation looks solid, could have a little thicker tail tube. Hard to tell with a measurement.

      I like the blue butterfly with the orange a lot! I really have no idea what all the Japanese designations mean. I never learned them I only go by if I like the way it looks.
