This 7.5-inch Doitsu Showa Butterfly Koi features the dramatic three-color pattern that makes Showa one of the most admired koi varieties. A vibrant red (hi) base is layered with bold black sumi markings, while clean white areas provide contrast and balance across the body.
The Doitsu scalation gives this koi a smooth, mostly scaleless appearance that allows the colors and pattern to stand out clearly. Combined with the flowing butterfly fins, this fish creates an elegant, almost ribbon-like movement in the water as the long pectoral and tail fins trail gracefully behind.
The sumi pattern stretches nicely across the body and into the fins, adding depth and intensity to the overall appearance. At 7.5 inches, #J22734(X24) has a strong young body and developing pattern that will continue to evolve as the koi grows.
This koi is an eye-catching addition to any pond, especially for hobbyists who enjoy the dramatic contrast and movement that butterfly Showa provide.
