This 11" Kikokuryu Butterfly koi delivers a bold black and white contrast paired with the graceful movement of long, flowing fins. Known for their dramatic, ever-changing appearance, Kikokuryu are a standout choice for pond owners who want a dynamic, eye-catching fish.
The metallic white base is accented by deep, inky black (sumi) that shifts and evolves with water temperature and environment. This gives the koi a living, changing pattern that adds long-term visual interest beyond a static design.
The butterfly (longfin) trait enhances the presentation, with extended pectoral and tail fins that move fluidly through the water. Combined with the reflective skin, this koi has strong presence from a distance and excellent shimmer up close.
At 11 inches, this fish has a solid body structure with good fin length and is entering a prime stage for continued development and pattern evolution.
