This 11-inch Beni Kikokuryu Koi features a striking combination of metallic platinum skin, bold black sumi, and vibrant red beni markings that create a dramatic three-color contrast. The reflective metallic base gives the fish a bright, polished appearance in the water, while the strong patterning across the body adds depth and visual impact.
The Doitsu scalation allows the metallic sheen and color patterns to stand out clearly, with the zipper row of dorsal scales highlighting the koi’s sleek body structure. The deep red beni is well balanced across the body, complemented by developing black sumi that adds character and intensity to the overall pattern.
Beni Kikokuryu are especially popular among koi enthusiasts because their patterns can evolve over time, with sumi that may shift and intensify as the koi matures. This makes each fish a dynamic and ever-changing addition to a pond.
At 11 inches, #J22722 (X23) has strong body shape, excellent metallic luster, and bold coloration that makes it a standout koi in any pond setting.
