      Long time lurker

      This is my first post. I have read thru just about every post on this site, lol.

      Can someone help me figure out what type of koi this is.
      He/She, I believe it is a she was purchased 2 years ago and at that time was about 3-4" in length.
      Very scrawny at that time for 4.99 at the local petsmart.

      He is now around 18-20" inches, maybe more.

      Never saw another koi like him. Pic quality is not the greatest, sorry.

      To me it looks like it wanted to be an Ochiba but the orange head kinda messed things up.

      It is a very odd one. We call it Venom or Deadpool because of the red on the head, like a mask.
      It has a blue sheen on the sides that goes into a really white underbelly.

      It is impossible to see in these pics. I can't really get a good picture, but I don't want to net and stress them.

      It's not a great big deal, I was just wondering.

      Thanks, all!

      Yeah it looks like an ochiba. There almost seems to be a little shine to it on the heard and down the top of the back, as if there was a metallic fish somewhere in the linage.
