I need alittle help identifying my koi Can't Post

I have a male koi in my pond, and I'm not totally sure what variety of koi he is. I've gotten mixed replies, mainly conflicting between showa and sanke. I would love to know what he really is. I'm abit new to the whole koi identification thing.

Showa koi are typically called "black fish with red and white markings." This is because the Showa koi's base color (the color of the belly, the mouth, and the base of the pectoral fins) is black. Words like "Powerful, Heavy, and Magnificent" are all commonly used to describe the Showa koi's appearance.

"sanke," this variety of koi is known for its combination of color and grace. Taisho koi are basically white fish with black and red markings. They do not have any black on the belly, or base of the pectoral fins.

its really hard to identify these two specially they got more markings

maybe the cifu's could help you since they are the one's keep on identifying these kois.

it would be just like the bekko and the utsuri
