Brought home 2 little babbies. Sorry I can't add pic's for you. They are both tiny little things about 2-3". A traditional Koi thats yellow like a daffodil. We named her Aggie after my sister's middle name since yellow is her favorite color. I hope she keeps her color as she grows up.

The other is the same size butterfly Koi. This one my mother wanted. It's white with orange spots and a pretty tail that has streaks of orange running through it. Her name is Liverlee. Yes I know that sounds odd but my Mom insisted since she is on the Liver transplant list.

I hope I never have to post a question about thier health only about thier joy!

How cute! Too bad about the pics though! Would be nice to see the darlins! smile.gif

The yelllow sounds like a Yamabuki, though there is variations of, Matsuba or Gin Rin. The butterfly could be Kohaku, dunno, a pic would be more telling. But with age and size, sometimes change is possible. I bought a fish once in those colors, about 3 month's later it started developing the pine cone matsuba markings over it all and turned out to be a Kujaku.. blink.gif Had black starting appearing, it would have been a Sanke most likely though. rofl3.gif So anything is possible when it comes to koi!
