This 6" Beni Kikokuryu Butterfly Koi features a striking metallic black (sumi) base layered with contrasting white (shiroji) and vibrant orange (beni) highlights. The dynamic pattern creates a bold, ever-changing appearance, a defining trait of the Kikokuryu variety.
The metallic (hikari) sheen enhances the depth of the black and the brightness of the orange, giving the koi a reflective, high-contrast finish. The interplay between dark and light areas creates a dramatic visual effect that stands out even at a smaller size.
As a Kikokuryu, this koi may continue to evolve over time, with sumi shifting and refining as it grows—adding an element of uniqueness and anticipation for the owner.
The butterfly (longfin) trait adds graceful movement, with extended fins that flow smoothly through the water. The combination of bold coloration and elegant fins makes this koi both eye-catching and refined.
At 6 inches, this koi is a great option for hobbyists looking to add contrast, movement, and a more dynamic, evolving variety to their pond.
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).
