Carole,

There are solid white koi and solid white koi. If it metallic, then it is a
platinum ogon. If it not metallic it is a shiro-muji, which because of lack
of color are traditionally culled out. Of course there is the shiro
matsuba, which has a black pine cone pattern in the scales on a non-metallic
fish, or the gin matsuba is the metallic version. Each has its own value.

We were given a small white koi about 3 years ago, it is all white no
other
color
on it. The last time I went to the pond store they had imported koi that
were
all
white, they were pretty expensive. Does anyone have any ideas if this is
what I
could have? How do you know the difference ? Even if it's not imported,
it's
pretty and now about 9-10 ins long.
