A striking combination of silver, black, and intricate scaling! This 8.5" Kikokuryu Koi has an almost mysterious appearance, with contrasting colors and distinctive Doitsu characteristics.
Its body features a beautiful silvery-white base accented by smoky black markings that create an eye-catching pattern from head to tail. The dark coloration is especially prominent along the sides, while the lighter center of the back provides a striking contrast.
One of this koi's most interesting features is its prominent row of mirror scales running along the dorsal line. These large, reflective-looking scales create a textured, almost armored appearance that adds depth to the overall pattern.
The black markings around its face give this individual an especially distinctive expression, while the dark tail and contrasting pectoral fins complete its dramatic appearance.
Kikokuryu are fascinating koi because their black sumi markings can change as they mature, making them particularly interesting for hobbyists who enjoy watching their koi develop.
At 8.5 inches, this koi is a wonderful addition for anyone who appreciates unusual black-and-white varieties.
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.
