This 8.5" Sanke koi features a clean white base highlighted by vibrant red (beni) and developing black (sumi), creating a classic and highly recognizable three-color pattern.
The standout feature on this fish is the strong, forward-positioned head hi, giving it immediate visual impact. The beni continues into the body in balanced steps, while emerging sumi adds contrast and depth without overpowering the pattern. The placement of black is still developing, which is typical at this size and offers future upside as the koi matures.
The skin appears bright with good shiroji (white quality), helping the colors stand out clearly in the water. The body is streamlined and proportionate, making this a solid entry-level Sanke with growth potential.
At 8.5 inches, this koi is priced to move and is ideal for hobbyists looking to add a traditional Sanke to their pond at an accessible price point.
