is that sumi coming through? if so could be a young komunryu.it certainly seems that there is some colour coming through on its back. ??? :-\ 8)

Hi shusuipaul, Has it got a slight lemon tinge?, if it has it could be a Doitsu Hariwake, Like the one next to it, you do get some that take longer to develop
the yellow,or on the other hand its yellow could have faded,in which case you have a nice little doitsu purachina. Carol.

brett do some home work
a doitsu purachina will have a line of black /bark scales along it dorsil line and 3-4 around the head .
you think that every koi is a kumonryu just becuse it is your best koi and you like them the most .
