Help Identifying Butterfly Koi

[mrsclem]

All very nice looking koi. As far as the sex, just guessing but black and grey and orange with white seem to have female body shape. Females are usually more wide.

I thought butterfly was a type?

They're called "butterfly" because of the long fins...most if not all koi come in regular and "Butterfly" form.

My koi did not breed until they were 5 yeas old so could be true .But now they are over 2 feet long and extremely heavy when I had to move them to rebuild the pond

Do you remember approximately how big they were at 5yrs old?
