This 10.5" Beni Kikokuryu Koi is a dynamic and ever-changing variety, prized for its striking contrast and metallic sheen. The reflective platinum base is layered with bold sumi (black) and rich beni (red-orange), creating a dramatic, high-contrast appearance that stands out immediately in the pond.
The doitsu (scaleless) body enhances the clean lines and allows the pattern to appear sharp and defined. A strong dorsal row of darker scaling adds structure and visual interest, while the head pattern brings extra character with a unique blend of beni and sumi markings.
Beni Kikokuryu are known for their seasonal transformation, with sumi patterns that can shift and evolve depending on water temperature and conditions. This gives the koi a living, changing quality that keeps it interesting year-round.
At 10.5", this koi sits in a desirable size range with excellent visual impact already established. A great choice for hobbyists looking for something bold, metallic, and constantly evolving.
Kloubec Koi Farm is a family-owned American koi breeder established in 1981. Situated on 80 acres with over 60 outdoor ponds and a 300,000-gallon indoor facility, all koi are raised on-site rather than imported. Each fish undergoes a detailed health screening and quarantine protocol prior to sale, and we have never experienced a case of Koi Herpes Virus (KHV).
