Showa Sanhoku

Predominately black koi with three colors. San means three. This one seems to have some "doitsu" scalation - the shiny scales up near the dorsal fin. The names can be kind of complicated.

This Showa Sanhoku is my favorite. When I think of
a typical style of koi, I would picture this one with
the three colors. But they are all pretty. I would like to see your favorite, the Taisho Sanke. Teresa

Sorry for the confusion. The Taisho Sanke and the Sanke are the same fish
