      Botan and Yellow Monkey bloodlines

      Can someone shed light on these blood lines from Dainichi.
      I'd like to know how big those parent Koi are and if there's anything special about them because they seem to command a very high price.

      I know that Botan is a Karashigoi, reportedly 115cm parent, non ginrin.
      The Yellow Monkey is a Ginrin Karashigoi, but i couldn't find out how large it is.

      I searched for the Yellow Monkey parents a good bit. I only found pictures and videos of the little ones, nothing on the parents.

      Botan, being a Karashigoi, is indeed impressive at 115cm, which is quite large for a Koi. The size likely contributes to its high value, along with its pedigree. As for Yellow Monkey, it's a Ginrin Karashigoi, but specific details about its size seem harder to find. Given that it’s from Dainichi and a Ginrin variety, it’s also likely to be quite valuable. Size, quality of the Ginrin scales, and lineage all play a role in the high prices of these Koi.
