Koi come in many different colors and textures, by that I'm referring to scales. Each koi has a different name that is traditionally decided by the colors and placement of the colors. You have the common scale koi, Doitsu, a fish with scales along the dorsal and lateral lines only, Leather, no visible scales, except possibly very small scale along the dorsal line only, and the Gin Rin, a koi normally scaled which has a gold or silver mirror like effect on the individual scales. |
