This 13" Doitsu Ochiba Koi features the warm, earthy tones that define this unique and calming variety. The soft gray base is overlaid with rich brown patterning, reminiscent of fallen leaves on water—true to the Ochiba (autumn leaves) name.
The doitsu (scaleless) body gives this koi a smooth, refined appearance, allowing the subtle color transitions to stand out clearly. A clean dorsal line of scales adds structure and visual interest without disrupting the overall softness of the pattern.
The coloration is well-balanced and evenly distributed, with a natural, flowing layout that creates a relaxing and understated presence in the pond. Unlike high-contrast varieties, this koi offers a more subdued, elegant look that pairs well with brighter fish.
At 13", this koi has reached a size where it commands attention while still having room for continued growth and development. A great addition for collectors looking to add depth and tonal contrast to their pond.
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 for resale. Each fish undergoes a comprehensive health screening and quarantine protocol prior to sale, and we have never experienced a case of Koi Herpes Virus (KHV).
