Thoughts on these Koi

[Dave 54]

Personally I think theres more enjoyment of buying in small and growing the koi on until I can sell it on , this way weve had a hobby thats virtually self perpetuating buying either books, koi, food, equipment or banking to save up for something a little more expensive but has to do with koi .
Thats how weve always done it since we started its given us great pleasure

I'm sticking to the cheap koi. I like to spend my money on shoes and purses!

ithink red black is sanke ginrin, white platinum ginri , yellow gold doiatsu means it has middle large scales , best is white one it wil become very pretty when it grows and dragon one may turn ugly due to large uneven scales

I'm THINKING about buying these 3 koi. What do you think? If anyone knows the correct names for these guys, let me know.

The first one I am calling glitter fish - I have never seen such cool looking scales. I already have a pure white, but this one is something special

The next is this white with grey on top butterfly koi. Not sure if the grey will stay or if he will go pure white. Any guesses?

The third is the yellow and white butterfly in the middle of the picture, he has some weird scales too, like dragon scales or something.

I have feeders in my pond right now, paid about $3.00 dollars for couple dozen, that have turned into a couple hundred over the years.
