Goldfish with koi colours/patterns?

I love the look of koi... but probably not a good idea.... :cry1:

So how hard would it be to breed some shubunkins to have a more koi like look?

Will the colours be as bright?

Can the yellowy white on some goldfish be bred to make it as white as you see in good koi?

And could the red and black be selectively bred into a more vibrant shade?

It's a shame that they don't grow as big as koi though... :(

As goldfish have been banned imports for so many years (or made so difficult and expensive to do that nobody wants to do it) the genetic pool of most here is very poor.

There are so-called koi goldfish (because of their colouring) on the market but whether there are any here I'm not sure.

I have seen some very large goldfish too!
