I too have couple of black butterfly Koi, boy they can give you heart
attack when you are cleaning the pond. Like other charkois, they are not
as
scared as say sankes or kohakus, so they will come to you when you are in
the pond. You have never laughed till you see a big ol 185 pound man
wearing hip waders jump out of a pond screaming like a girl.

They sure will sneak up on you for sure!

Black koi are supposed to add "Luck" to your pond; similarly, the
Japanese
feel that white fish bring sorrow (white is their color of mourning . .

Yeh, yeh, yeh. . . I added two black koi to my collection about 6 weeks
ago,
after about 5 weeks in quarantine. They're little guys, about 3.5" at
the
time I added them. In they went, and that was the LAST I saw of them
until
yesterday at high noon! Bewa these are the "true" ghost koi: you
don't
see them! If they ever develop any distinguishing features, they will be
Stealth and Ninja!

I really, Really, REALLY want a black butterfly: I have a gorgeous white
doitsu butterfly, and I want the yin/yang thing goin'!

My wife read some article that black Koi are supposed to be good luck.
After a visit to local shops, I was told that they are also very
uncommon.
I suppose that translates to rare and expensive.
Are black Koi hard to find and where could I look if my local shops
don't
have one?
