Like molten copper flowing over dark stone! This 7.5" Kin Kikokuryu Koi features an extraordinary combination of fiery orange-gold coloration, dramatic black markings, and distinctive Doitsu scaling.
Its body displays deep charcoal-black tones illuminated by brilliant copper-orange highlights that seem to glow between the scales. The contrast creates a rich, almost molten-metal appearance that makes this koi especially captivating from above.
One of its most interesting features is the bold arrangement of dark mirror scales running along the back. These prominent scales create a textured, armor-like pattern, while the bright orange dorsal area adds another layer of contrast.
The warm orange coloration extends across the head, where small dark markings add personality. Its lightly colored pectoral fins feature warm orange accents, contrasting beautifully with the darker body and tail.
Kin Kikokuryu are admired for their combination of metallic gold tones, dark sumi markings, and distinctive Doitsu characteristics. Their patterns may continue to change as they mature, making them fascinating koi to watch over time.
At 7.5 inches, this individual offers an unusual combination of color, texture, and personality.
This koi 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.
