Koi pics

Is this the section where you can post pics of your fish? I don't really see any other place.
I Just got this girl. 13" dianachi Showa. Not show quality, a little thin, but still pretty nice, at least to me.

Pretty fish! That’s all I ever go by, and I like that one!

Very pretty!

Very nice. The white looks very good and the black over time will deepen in color. Good luck with your new fish!

Kodama koi farm. The breader dianachi is known for showa and its bold sumi, so im hoping that the sumi will come in nice.. She is only 18 months old.

did you go to the jersey store ? I made a 3 hour trip to the long island store earlier this summer just to find if I had scrolled all the way to the middle of the long web page that location was closed for the year. I was less then happy. But I will admit I made the trip to jersey the following day and found the quality to be impressive. even though I was still very upset

@Rich8888ri and @CometKeith To me, that is a lovely fish! Love the colors — they’re so bright! Since I’m not a koi person, I’m ignorant when it comes to colors, patterns, and body shapes. So, what makes this gorgeous fish NOT be show quality, exactly?

That's a nice fish, if you like the fish that is what matters, beauty is in the eye of the beholder after all.

Very pretty fish and that's all I care about also!

I know zip about koi except what I have learned on YouTube... but I one thing they talk about is the clean color lines. I think you want to see distinct color patterns that don't bleed into each other.

That is correct. The less color bleeding the better. Also the black (montegoro, not sure of spellling) on the front fins should be all black and not black and red.
