It's an intex in the basement (intex users unite!!) and the filters are still trying to catch up due to the switch from outside, thinking about upgrading my pump too, gph is a bit too low for my liking...hence the cloudy water. It annoys me to no end, but it should be fixed soon.

Are they japanese strain or domestic strain? Do you keep them outdoors? I have use the same thing for winter. When I bring them indoors. One year some kids broke ice on my 4 ft deep pond and all the first went to top of pond and died. So now keep indoors for winter also heard this year might be the worst winter and im located in joliet il. so its going to be bad. Very nice fish in 1,3 and last pic. Is he a butterfly. If so his tail and fins seem short.
Both. The one in pic 6 (and hes in a few others also) is from Japan and the two platinums are also Japanese-bred koi. The rest are all domestic. (and that is a butterfly you see there, who grew too fast for the fins to catch up.)
This year they were in the intex outside too because there is currently an enourmous 5 hole where their original pond used to be. YAY for 5K upgrade in the spring.
