This 8.5-inch Sanke Butterfly Koi combines the classic tri-color Sanke pattern with the elegant movement of long flowing butterfly fins. The koi displays a clean white base with vibrant red (hi) patterning across the body and contrasting black sumi markings, creating the traditional Taisho Sanke look.
The red pattern is bold and well-balanced along the body, while the sumi markings provide striking contrast and depth. The white base remains bright and clean, allowing the red and black markings to stand out clearly in the pond.
As a Butterfly (longfin) koi, this fish features extended flowing fins that add graceful motion and visual interest. The long pectoral fins and flowing tail create elegant movement in the water, making butterfly koi especially eye-catching when swimming.
At 8.5 inches, #J31034 (P6) has a nicely developing Sanke pattern with strong color contrast and graceful longfin structure. As it grows, the pattern and body will continue to develop, making this a beautiful addition to any koi pond.
