Thanks Jonna, miguynmkoi, Ruthie & LuvMyFish.
Billy... I would love to see some photos.
jools, I am not an expert on koi... we go for what we like as opposed to a purist in the koi community. Most of ours are butterfly.
To quote from Kodama Koi Farm...
Kin Ginrin:
Kin Ginrin indicates the group of varieties that has diamond scales on the entire bodies.
Hikari Muji:
Hikari Muji indicates varieties that have a solid metallic color such as Ogon, Platinum.
Our new baby has metallic scales on the entire body. She is a Platinum Ogon and as far as I know that places her in the Hikare Muji class but you will have to let me know if that is incorrect.
