This 9" Hi Showa Koi delivers bold, high-contrast coloration with a strong presence despite its smaller size. The deep, fiery hi (red) forms the dominant base, overlaid with developing sumi (black) that creates a dramatic and evolving pattern.
The sumi placement is already emerging in key areas, giving this koi a powerful look that will continue to refine as it grows. The darker pectoral fins and body markings contribute to the classic Showa character, adding depth and visual weight.
The body is clean and well-shaped for its size, and the overall pattern gives this fish excellent visibility in the pond. As the sumi develops further, this koi has the potential to become even more striking over time.
At 9", this is a great entry point for hobbyists looking to grow out a Showa and enjoy the transformation process. A strong, affordable selection with future upside.
Kloubec Koi Farm is a family-owned American koi breeder established in 1981. Located on 80 acres with over 60 outdoor ponds and a 300,000-gallon indoor facility, all koi are raised on-site rather than imported. Each fish undergoes a comprehensive health screening and quarantine process prior to sale, and we have never had a case of Koi Herpes Virus (KHV).
