This 5.5" Doitsu Hariwake Butterfly Koi features a vibrant metallic orange (hi) pattern layered over a bright, reflective white (hikari) base. The coloration is bold and luminous, creating strong contrast and high visibility in the water.
The pattern flows cleanly along the body, with the orange extending across the head and back while allowing the white base to show through for balance. This open, well-spaced layout gives the koi a bright and elegant appearance rather than a crowded look.
The Doitsu (scaleless) body enhances the smooth, polished finish, allowing the metallic sheen to stand out clearly. A subtle dorsal line adds structure while maintaining the sleek, modern profile typical of Doitsu varieties.
The butterfly (longfin) trait adds graceful movement, with long, flowing fins that create a soft, fluid presence as the fish swims. The combination of shine and motion makes this koi feel larger and more eye-catching than its size suggests.
Kloubec Koi Farm is a family-owned American koi breeder established in 1981. Located on 80 acres with 60 outdoor ponds and a 300,000-gallon indoor facility, we raise our koi on-site and do not import fish for resale. Every koi completes a comprehensive health and quarantine protocol before being offered for sale, and we have never experienced a case of Koi Herpes Virus (KHV).
