This 9" Metallic Ochiba koi features a distinctive blend of soft blue-grey and warm copper tones, overlaid with a clear reticulated (netted) scale pattern. The added metallic influence gives the fish a subtle sheen, elevating it beyond a traditional Ochiba and adding extra visual depth in the water.
The pattern flows naturally along the body, with the darker reticulation providing structure while the copper coloration concentrates toward the head and midsection. This creates a balanced, earthy look that still catches light thanks to the metallic quality.
Ochiba are often referred to as “autumn leaves on water,” and this specimen leans into that aesthetic while offering a slightly brighter, more reflective finish. The result is a koi that feels both natural and eye-catching at the same time.
At 9 inches, this koi is a great option for hobbyists looking for something a bit different from standard patterns, with solid growth potential and evolving color as it matures.
