Red eyed Koi

Hi, this is strange. Last night I posted a thread named "red eyed
koi". Today I see that my post is actually #2 in a thread about
someone that has hatched red eyed koi (I mean, their fish did, I
presume). How did this happened? Did we post the same title and Usenet
bundled us together? I used Usenet 10-15 years ago, until 1994 and I
don't remember this feature.

To answer OP, according to my experience, if I hadn't killed him by
mistake, my red eyed koi was healthy and vigorous, in fact he was the
leader of the pack. Not that it means anything to OP.

I don't think that they are albinos, or if they are they don't look
like they are weaklings. As I said I have seen many paintings with
such fish depicted and they are obviously prized and relatively rare.

BTW, I am posting with a different ID because my newsreader is acting
funky and I can't see the responses to my threads.

Hello. I had a number of Koi hinerited from the previous occupants of the
house, one of the koi was all white with a couple of orange spots and bright
red eyes (I think the skin was red around it as well).
They are all dead now (see other post) but I am curious if I can get another
like him. He was my buddy and I miss him.
I have seen koi like that in japanese ink drawings before. The aquariums
stores have no idea.

Thank you
