This 5.5" Gin Rin Tancho Showa koi is a striking and uncommon combination, featuring a bold black-and-white body enhanced with shimmering gin rin scales and accented by a distinct tancho-style marking on the head.
What sets this fish apart is the contrast between its deep sumi pattern and reflective scaling, creating a dynamic, almost metallic effect across the body. The small hi (red) accent near the head adds an extra point of interest, giving this koi a unique identity beyond a traditional Tancho pattern.
The gin rin scaling is well distributed, producing a consistent sparkle that becomes more pronounced as the fish moves through the water. Combined with a balanced juvenile body structure, this koi has strong visual potential as it continues to develop.
Expect:
- High-contrast black and white Showa pattern
- Tancho-style head marking with additional hi accent
- Even gin rin scaling with noticeable shimmer
- Clean body line with good growth potential
A standout choice for collectors looking for something visually different in a smaller size class, with both pattern uniqueness and reflective quality.
