came across a blue butterfly koi?
yes it was blue, well in the past couple days i have been looking for more info ofn them, and it seems i really screwed up in getting a golden butterfly instead, so i wanted to ask how many people here have seen in person a blue or green butterfly koi
I have seen two, and currently own one. None of them were really huge - mine is only a year old and is around 12-14" long, is all. But, she has a very vivid, pearly sky-blue shimmer to her mostly white scales, and I am hopeful that she will retain her color as she ages and grows.
I have seen pictures of young, so-called "green" koi (both butterfly and standard), but in my opinion, they are not as green, as the blue ones are blue.
I think you will have more luck keeping a good, desirable coloration to your koi, if you look for a blue one, than if you try to find a true green.
Hope this helps.
