Meet Jackson, a 6" Doitsu Showa Koi with the bold personality and distinctive appearance that make this variety so appealing!
Doitsu Showa are admired for their combination of red, white, and black coloration, displayed against smooth, largely scaleless skin. Unlike traditional fully scaled Showa, the Doitsu variety allows the contrasting colors and markings to stand out with a particularly clean appearance.
One of the most fascinating characteristics of Showa is their black pigmentation, known as sumi. These markings can continue developing as the koi matures, sometimes creating noticeable changes in its overall appearance.
At just 6 inches, Jackson is a young koi with plenty of growing ahead. Watching its coloration and pattern develop is part of the enjoyment of raising a Showa.
Whether you're building a collection of traditional koi varieties or looking for a distinctive Doitsu fish, Jackson is a wonderful little addition to consider.
Jackson 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.
