This impressive 18" Jumbo Ki Utsuri Butterfly Koi combines substantial size with a dramatic combination of golden-yellow color and deep black sumi. Add in its long, boldly marked Butterfly fins, and this is a koi that will be easy to spot from across the pond.
The warm yellow coloration stretches from the head through the body, while irregular black markings create strong contrast along the back and sides. Rather than a delicate, highly refined pattern, this koi has a bold, rustic appearance with plenty of individual character.
One of its best features is the finnage. The elongated pectoral and tail fins carry striking dark markings that give them an almost feathered appearance. In the water, those long fins should create considerably more visual drama than you'd get from a standard-fin Ki Utsuri.
At 18 inches, this koi has already developed the size and presence many pond owners spend years waiting for. It's an excellent choice for someone who wants an unusual Jumbo Butterfly with warm color, dark contrast and unmistakable personality.
This koi was bred and raised at Kloubec Koi Farm in Amana, Iowa—we never import koi for resale.
Our family-owned American koi farm encompasses 80 acres, more than 60 outdoor ponds and a 300,000-gallon indoor facility. Every Kloubec Koi completes our comprehensive health and quarantine protocol before being offered for sale, and our farm has never had a case of KHV.
