This 9" Kinsui Koi has an especially dramatic appearance, combining the distinctive scaling of Shusui with a bright metallic silver ground.
Its standout feature is the impressive row of large, dark Doitsu scales running down the back. The scales create a bold zipper-like pattern from the shoulders toward the tail, contrasting beautifully against the reflective silver skin.
Vivid red-orange hi adds another layer of color, appearing along the sides and across portions of the head. The combination of metallic silver, deep charcoal-black dorsal scaling and fiery red-orange gives this Kinsui a striking three-dimensional appearance.
Kinsui are closely associated with the metallic Shusui group, making this an interesting choice for collectors who enjoy the classic Shusui look but want additional metallic brilliance and stronger visual contrast.
At 9", this koi already has considerable presence, and its oversized dorsal scales make it especially distinctive when viewed from above.
This koi was bred and raised at Kloubec Koi Farm in Amana, Iowa—we never import koi for resale.
Our family-owned American koi farm encompasses 80 acres, more than 60 outdoor ponds and a 300,000-gallon indoor facility. Every Kloubec Koi completes our comprehensive health and quarantine protocol before being offered for sale, and our farm has never had a case of KHV.
