This 6" Kin Kikokuryu Butterfly Koi features a striking metallic gold (kin) base layered with bold black (sumi) patterning, creating a dramatic, high-contrast appearance. The reflective sheen enhances the depth of the darker tones while giving the gold areas a luminous, almost molten finish.
As a Kikokuryu-type koi, the pattern has a dynamic quality, with sumi that may continue to shift and refine over time. This evolving nature adds uniqueness and long-term visual interest as the fish matures.
The Doitsu (scaleless) body allows the metallic sheen to remain clean and uninterrupted, while a defined dorsal line provides structure and visual balance. The butterfly (longfin) trait adds elegance, with flowing fins that create smooth, graceful movement in the water.
At 6 inches, “Ryker” offers strong visual impact, contrast, and motion—making it an excellent choice for hobbyists looking for a bold, modern koi with personality and presence.
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).
