Well, for the tail part, there would be 2 layers of paper stuck in that fold (or what you see as the tail, after the reverse fold (step 17/18) in the book). What I did was simply separate the 2nd or bottom layer (holding the top layer with one hand) and fold it (the bottom layer) in the opposite direction (i.e. downward) from the existing top / tail and shape accordingly. I hope this helps! Thanks Larry! Well, for the tail part, there would be 2 layers of paper stuck in that fold (or what you see as the tail, after the reverse fold (step 17/18) in the book).

I tried folding LaFosse's koi tonight - but had a problem with the tail fins. Couldn't get it to separate into upper and lower tail fins. From the start, the "tail" section was crimped... but how did you separate the crimped tail into two sections? Couldn't figure it out, his book doesn't explain it in detail. thanks, Larry Great job!
