Yellow Butterfly Koi ID.

[CliffandJoann]

Was surprised to read on the other thread that the yellow koi is an unstable color.

This koi I aptly named 'spun gold'... as she truly shines like 24 k gold.
she was born in our pond, here she is next to her momma, this
was taken 2 years ago. She is about eight years old.
What kind of koi is she?

 

[j.w]

Don't know but she sure is pretty as the summer sunshine!

 

[CliffandJoann]

Thanks JW,
went looking for more pic's of her...
here she is in 2005

we have two other yellow koi, but not as bright and clear as spun gold...
again this is from 2005

 

[j.w]

She stays looking the very nice yellow color doesn't she. I don't think she will change but then I don't know much about koi. Just seems if she has been this way for this long she may stay that way.

 

[CliffandJoann]

Oh yes, I agree...she'll stay that way.
this is from 2004

Hoping someone will be able to identify which type of koi you have there. You have nice big beauties. That white one is a nice big one also. Love the flowing tail.

I just love Butterfly Koi, the little ones just look like fairies in the pond.
Always Butterfly

Those are some nice looking fish. I really like the white one in your last pic.

 

[j.w]

Butterfly, I love your pretty fish too and yes I agree the Butterflies are beauties! Your pond is lovely too and you have tons of lush plants.

Thanks addy and Butterfly and Taherrman....

Butterfly, I see you have a bright yellow butterfly too.
I love the Butterfly as well, they're my favorites.
They are so graceful and active...
The orange koi is our first koi, (SUNNY) we bought him in
1997 he the Pop to many of our Butterflies, I'm
assuming he's spun golds Pop...as well as all the other
yellow and white butterflies.
We have another small black butterfly (THE PUP) that we
bought in 1998, he's the Pop to all the black butterflies.

I took this on July 31st...

I was mesmerized watching your cool video of your pretty fish swimming back and forth through that gorgeous pond. Koi always seem to look so happy going about their business. I like how that one had to stop and taste a bit of that plant on the side for a second and then go on his way again. Those plants you have planted around add so much color to your pond.

Thanks JW, Only another ponder can know how attached you can get to your
little wet pets...It's nuts, I know pondless people think it's nuts anyway ...

Gorgeous looking pond. Really like the landscaping around it and how it just hangs over the rocks. Great job.
