Please identify fish

[glanzaboy71]

hello all
Just got a nice fish of a friend
20 inches long / 51 cm
I have worked out its a female by the rounded fins & she is quite bulky
Could someone please identify the breed of her

I can try more photos if these are not clear enough

Thank you

It's a koi! A pretty one too. I dont know the specific name for it but it seems to have dragon scale (If i'm not mistaken from reading about this type of scale a few days ago, it's called Doitsu???)

It's a koi, but I'm guessing you are wanting to know what it's called based on its colors???

Japanese Carp!

I knew it was a koi
It is a doitsu of some kind

Yes it is a very nice koi
Very calm koi too

Beautiful koi

Any ideas anyone
Had a look at online posters but the markings my koi have are not on them
Finding it hard to identify her breed / type

Is there anywhere online that has proper photos of koi with the breed type names ?

@Dave 54 or @koiguy1969 should be able to help you ID your koi

It is a dragon scale doitsu, probably a kawarimono. Meaning it doesnt truely fit any one classification. Better picture would help

I agree it doesnt fit into any of the other classifications it has however a very nice example of doitsu scalation but colour wise its let down quite a bit but still a nice koi to have in your pond
