om...
I have two that were born in the spring of 2002 in my pond. One is a
butterfly; both are of the "brown shine" variety. They do seem a
little more skittish then the rest of the koi and they are definately
more stealth! They are very hard to see, and my water is very clear.

The fellow I have appears to have a brown tinge to his black.. Skitish..
yes.. But a little feller.. ( maybe 3 inchs without the tail..)
