Identity crisis

[Julius Leonid Maestral]

Hello people! Need help in properly identifying a fish here. Last month I was able to acquire a 4 to 5 inch koi sold to me, after a bit of convincing that it was a kohaku. I doubted it at first because although it had the usual pattern of a kohaku, the red pattern was more of a deep orange. Is this the real thing? :goldfish:

Sorry there DDave. I tried to upload the pics, but it seems that my pics are "too big" to be uploaded in the forum.

Resize them to 500 wide and they will be small enough to load.

If it had a white nose, then it would be a true Kohaku. Absent that, I'm not sure what the proper name is.
