This listing features a pair of 8.5-inch Butterfly Koi showcasing two striking and highly recognizable koi color patterns. These longfin koi provide beautiful contrast in the pond while adding graceful movement with their flowing fins.
One koi displays a classic Taisho Sanke pattern, featuring vibrant red (hi) markings over a bright white base with contrasting black sumi accents. The combination of red, white, and black creates the traditional Sanke look, one of the most recognizable koi varieties in the hobby.
The second koi features a Shiro Utsuri pattern, displaying bold black sumi markings across a clean white body. The strong black and white contrast gives this fish a dramatic appearance and pairs beautifully with the colorful Sanke.
Both koi are Butterfly (longfin) varieties, meaning they have extended flowing fins and long trailing tails that move gracefully through the water. Longfin koi are especially eye-catching in ponds because their fins create elegant movement and add a unique visual dimension compared to standard fin koi.
At 8.5 inches, this pair provides a balanced mix of color, contrast, and flowing fin structure, making them a beautiful addition to any pond collection.
Kloubec Koi Farm is a family-owned American koi breeder established in 1981. Located on 80 acres with more than 60 outdoor ponds and a 300,000-gallon indoor facility, we raise all of our koi on-site rather than importing fish for resale. Every koi undergoes a comprehensive health and quarantine protocol before being offered for sale, and our farm has never experienced a case of Koi Herpes Virus (KHV).
