This 9-inch Showa Koi features a bold combination of deep sumi (black) layered over a vibrant red (hi) base, creating the dramatic contrast that makes Showa one of the most sought-after koi varieties. The strong red coloration provides an intense backdrop while the developing black pattern adds depth and visual movement along the body.
The sumi placement is beginning to consolidate into larger patches, giving this koi a classic Showa appearance that will continue to evolve as the fish matures. Showa are known for their dynamic pattern development, and younger fish like this often gain additional definition and balance in their markings over time.
With a healthy body shape and vivid coloration, #J22731(X24) will add striking contrast and energy to any koi pond, especially when swimming alongside lighter or metallic varieties.
