Koi Experts, What kind of Koi is this??????

[JPlikewoah]

I just picked up this little one (4"), because the color and scales look like NOTHING i've seen.

What type of Koi is this one called? Is this a rare/ high quality koi?
Currently in my plant tank, making a pond for him asap.

I wouldn't say he looks rare or of a high grade, is a good looking fish tho!

Juvenile koi often look very different to when they reach nearer to maturity.

You should go ahead and build a pond tho, cos koi keeping is lots of fun.

This is a Doistu Koi. It pretty much means 'Large scales'. Not rare at all, but they are somthing worth keeping. This one is awesome.

this is Hikarimoyo variety - metallic doitsu utsuri , not perfect ( yellow stains should not be there)if the stains were red it would be nice metallic doitsu showa.
