My favorite is pic #7. That thing darned nearly looks like it would glow in the dark! Are you sure that fish doesn't have a bulb inside?!

What a beautiful herd! The last one is a stunner as well...the scales are just magical...love the texture/color. You definitely have a thoughtful collection there...looks like you really worked hard to get a good mix of color, texture, pattern, etc.

They all look nicely fed as well. Plump! Diamond lil has quite a set of shoulders on her, too. She looks like a line backer. LOL!

Diamond Lil sounds like the old toilet plungers. It's all day Slurp! Slurp! Slurp! around the pond.
The last one is a Buda Goromo.

They would even look better but the water is cold and they were swimming at about 2' down.

On the very first photo there was an orange and black one......looks like he didn't make the cut :fish2:

We need a post a pic of your favorite Mutt thread........I think thats all I have lol. So tell me, did your taste in Koi (patterns, colors, etc) change over time from when you first got into the hobby?

That would be a Ginrin Ki Utsuri which is the last row 3rd fish.
I've always liked Kohaku. I grew to like the Sanke and Showa
Shiro Utsuri and Ochibas next.
Also I would like to have all female koi.

Next time you're looking at buying stocks let me know, and I'll send you some money! You've got quite an eye for $5 fish! LOL!

Ain't it the truth tho, that mutts can become beloved jewels in the pond. My oldest koi/mutt, Big Ben, was around $6 bucks years ago, and I certainly didn't know much about what I was doing when I bought him other than I thought he looked pretty. He's ended up being a perfectly lovely sanke.
