This 9" Gin Rin Showa Butterfly Koi combines dramatic contrast with elegant longfin movement, creating a striking presence in the pond.
A deep black (sumi) base is layered with reflective Gin Rin scaling that catches light across the body, while vivid red-orange (hi) markings add intensity and balance to the overall pattern. Flowing butterfly fins enhance the koi’s graceful movement and give the fish a refined, almost floating appearance in the water.
The combination of metallic-like sparkle, bold sumi placement, and long trailing fins gives this koi a darker, high-contrast aesthetic that stands out beautifully against lighter pond fish.
At 9 inches, “Phantom” offers both immediate visual impact and continued development potential as the sumi and body structure mature over time.
Kloubec Koi Farm is a family-owned American koi breeder established in 1981. Located on 80 acres with 60 outdoor ponds and a 300,000-gallon indoor facility, we raise our koi on-site and do not import fish for resale. Every koi completes a comprehensive health and quarantine protocol before being offered for sale, and we have never experienced a case of Koi Herpes Virus (KHV).
