I don't understand with Koi but its a color morph thing and species. I think its all about the size too. This Koi is worth more as it grows. They got it with the house they bought though, my dad would never have actually bought a fish that expensive. The previous owners were Chinese and said it was a good luck fish to them. My dad says he likes it cause it looks cool and lets you pet it.

Im not a huge fan of Koi, so they all kind of look the same to me. The expensive one kind of looks like a cow fish because if the pattern.
