This striking 12" Shusui Butterfly Koi immediately catches the eye with its unusually strong blue-gray coloration and long, graceful Butterfly fins.
Shusui are the Doitsu form of Asagi and are known for their blue body color and distinctive row of larger, darker scales running along the back. Kloubec's own variety guide describes Shusui as blue koi with neatly aligned dorsal scales that resemble a zipper.
This particular koi has a beautiful slate-blue appearance, with deeper blue-gray dorsal markings providing contrast along the back. Its elongated Butterfly fins add graceful movement and make this 12-inch fish appear even more substantial as it glides through the pond.
The cooler coloration is especially appealing for a collection dominated by reds, oranges, and yellows. For someone specifically searching for a blue Butterfly Koi, this is an eye-catching individual with plenty of personality.
At 12 inches, this Shusui already offers excellent pond presence while still having room for continued growth.
Kloubec Koi Farm is a family-owned American koi breeder located on 80 acres with more than 60 outdoor ponds and a 300,000-gallon indoor facility. Our koi are bred and raised on-site rather than imported for resale.
