Malaysia koi forums man gota love that site They can id any kinda koi. This is how my Kohaku looks And remember thos are Jap names your fish is going to look little diff them a 100% jap Kohaku. oh and how big are they and what are u going to house them in?
Yea the best I could find is the orange-- Kohaku and the white and black maybe a Bekko.
I bought them 2 months ago @ 2" maybe a little smaller. For a month I had them in a small pond that I put I the garden. I have since brought them inside and are now being housed in my 35 gallon tank. Just the 2 of them. I will keep them in there til this spring. I plan on building a pretty big pond at my new house.
They are both about 4" and really active.
Do you know where I can find a price listing w/ pics of different Koi on the market. So I can look at how much they cost for juvies and adult sized. Thanks

Its hard to say man. each dif koi can be more money then the other. Juvies are some times 1.99 and some footers are 23 dolors where i live. I have seen japs one range from 50-400 dolors. This link http://www.japanese-koi-fish.com/pictures_koi_varieties.htm
Are jap koi. Remember Thos are Top Q JAP koi that what they should look like. Our type are diff. but u can kinda see how they match . Im tring to hunt down a Kumonryo this yr for my pond. Hope that kinda stirs u in the right way... thos are only few of the koi. Then theirs Mix like a Gringer Keho and stuff like that.

Umm some koi i have got have a kinda stump face and other have a Point to them have no idea what the Diff in them but must me from the breed. That face is com tho in some koi.
Ok I think I can ID the black and white because I have one. Now it does depend on how much black there is and if the black crosses the spine I think, but your koi looks much like mine. Unfortunately I have to say you are on your own on the orange and white, but there are great sites with lots of info on line. What I believe you have is a Shiro Utsuri (black and white). I have a Shiro Utsuri named Ushi (cow) in Japanese, cuz he's black and white. We also have a Sanke named Niji (color) in Japanese he is orange black and white, although he has lost almost all of his black at this point. and I have a Platinum Ogon named Shisome, which means "beginning" in Japanese. Here check out these pics, I apologize for the quality. I have seen many Shiro's with bad heads, my own is mis-shapen. Shisome is by far my best koi, check out his barbels, they are over an inch long, and his finnage is magnificent. Problem is he knows he is beautiful and flutters his fins like he is doing a fan dance and so I never can get really good pictures of him. Enjoy and good luck! Try to trace how long Shisome's barbels are in the last pic.
