I have been "collecting" koi for some time now, but only recently started taking pictures of them BEFORE I put them into the
pond. Once they're in there, I don't take them out unless I decide I don't want to keep that particular koi and then I'll list it for
sale. I don't take them out for a photo shoot under any other circumstance! Often, I'll keep several small koi of the same
variety to see how they turn out, or I'll keep a couple of the same variety because I happen to really like that particular variety.
There are some koi that I would buy (if the price was right and I had the money) no matter how many of that variety I already
had in my pond.

| Beni Kumonryu These are exceptionally difficult fish to find, and if you find one you like, GET IT! Since they are Doitsu, or scaleless, they tend to change their color patterns dramatically over time, so they're always interesting. |
| Budo Goromo Yet another interesting koi variety, as ideally the red and black patterns on the fish completely overlap, with no black or red patches anywhere else on the fish. |
| Butterfly Gin Rin Orenji Ogon This is a true "orange" colored fish. All other koi are considered red, however, the Orenji is the exception. I particularly like the diamond scales, or Gin Rin on this one, as well as it's long, uniform fins. |
| Butterfly Hi Utsuri You can certainly tell the difference between the previous Orenji and this red an black fish. Not a very good picture of this beauty, but the colors are clean and bold, and the fins are even and identically colored. |
| Gin Rin Ai Goromo I'm not sure if you can tell from this picture just how small this koi was when I added it to my pond, but I kind of felt sorry for it as it has one stumpy pectoral fin. I don't know how the fish will turn out, but I thought it was pretty enough to try to grow out a little in my pond. |
| Gin Rin Asagi I can't even tell you how long I've wanted one of these koi, but at the 2009 MPKS Koi & Goldfish Show, Mike White had TWO of them! What a find! They look like they're made of pure silver. |
