I Bought a house that came with a 950 gallon pond. It if literally filled with Koi and goldfish. I'm trying to get rid of some of the gold fish but some i like others i have no idea what they are!! Iwould love to know the type of Koi and goldfish i Have although there are around 30 to 40 goldfish and some are pregnant so i will be selling some off after i figure out what im looking at. It just looks too crowded to me. My biggest stumper is what i think is a goldfish i dont see any barbells around her mouth but she has long yellowish fins a whiteish body, yellowish head but her eyes are red i think shes gorgeous but what am i looking at (first two pics??) And the last pic of my black and orange Koi he has somekind of blue silver crescents on his side. any idea what this is(last pic) Any help identifying the following fish would be awesome.

Your first three photos a goldfish the next is a Shiro Bekko (cant tell propprly because of water colour).
Then you have a number of sankes not very good ones but sankes all the same.
The last Photo is of a ghost koi a very nice one as ghost koi go we have one alot smaller with the same colouration .

Thats most probably a metalic scaled koi or if it looks like diamonds then its name gets prefixed by Gin Rin Ki Bekko lol.
Its taken us the bedt part of 27 years to understand the classes and we still make mitakes so dont worry :D
