This 10" Sanke Butterfly Koi features a classic and well-balanced three-color pattern of bright red (hi), clean white (shiroji), and contrasting black (sumi). The hi is vibrant and evenly distributed across the body, while the sumi adds depth and definition without overwhelming the pattern.
The white base remains bright and clean, allowing each color to stand out clearly. The placement of the sumi complements the red pattern, maintaining the traditional Sanke aesthetic while adding visual interest and contrast.
The butterfly (longfin) trait enhances the koi’s presence, with flowing fins that create smooth, elegant movement in the water. This added motion gives the fish a more graceful and eye-catching appearance compared to standard-fin Sanke.
At 10 inches, this koi offers both immediate visual impact and strong growth potential, making it a great choice for hobbyists looking to add a classic, high-contrast centerpiece to their pond.
Kloubec Koi Farm is a family-owned American koi breeder established in 1981. Located on 80 acres with 60 outdoor ponds and a 300,000-gallon indoor facility, we raise our koi on-site and do not import fish for resale. Every koi completes a comprehensive health and quarantine protocol before being offered for sale, and we have never experienced a case of Koi Herpes Virus (KHV).
