      New to the hobby

      I'm a new koi owner and am just learning the different types. I have few others in my pond already, put picked these up at the local pet store yesterday and was hoping someone might be able to identify what type of koi they are, assuming they are something specific.

      Welcome and thanks for joining Koiphen!
      Sorry I don't know names, but pet store koi are sometimes hard to "define". Enjoy watching
      them grow!

      Benicia, CA, still on the bay so that it cools off nightly but far enough from the coast to be nice.

      The yellow and white looks to be Hariwake.

      Hi and welcome, the one on it's own might be a Gin Matsuba, the yellow and white either an Ochiba or a Hariwake but as mentioned in a previous post pet stores rarely carry fish of a certain origin, nevertheless all koi are a joy!
