This 8" Hikari Utsuri Butterfly Koi is a standout specimen, combining intense metallic coloration with bold black patterning and dramatic longfin movement.
The body features a deep, glowing orange metallic base layered with rich black (sumi) markings that create strong contrast and depth. The reflective sheen enhances the intensity of the color, giving the fish a fiery, high-visibility presence in the water. Its pattern is dynamic and expressive, making it visually engaging from multiple angles.
What truly sets this koi apart is its butterfly (longfin) structure. The extended, flowing fins and tail add a sense of motion and elegance, creating a trailing, ribbon-like effect as it swims. The finnage is well-formed and balanced, complementing the body and enhancing its ornamental appeal.
