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.
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.
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.
