Are these Koi?

Please can you tell me if these are Koi fish?

They are sitting in an old swimming pool of the house we have just brought, as you can see the water and conditions are very poor and we are going to rehome them.

Hi there the first picture is hard to tell but the second i think is a ghost carp and the third could be a magoi koi carp but like i said it could be as the pictures are difficult to say.
Are you looking at revamping the pool? and making it into a koi pond?.
What is the size of the pond/pool

Thank you for the quick reply, I sat for a long time to try and get the pictures, not the easiest task!!

First photo is of babies from last year????

We are going to reinstate the swimming pool and don't have anywhere for the fish so a friend is going to have them. I take it they have no great value?

You could advertise them on ebay as there will be someone that'll happilly take them of your hands , i would try selling them individually to raise a little more money or you could sell them as a job lot , it would help the sale if you had an idea of size

I've got a black one just like that, rescued from an abandoned pond. It's grown very well since then and has a lovely orange tummy, not that you get to see that very often.
Hope they end up in a happy home soon! good luck.
