Sanke Butterfly 9″/22cm

Product Description:

If you’ve been comparing koi fish price across varieties, Sanke Butterfly usually lands in a solid middle ground — more visual drama than a standard Sanke, without the premium tag of rarer long-fin varieties. This one carries the classic Sanke tricolor pattern (red, black, and white) but with the elegant, flowing fins Butterfly koi are known for, giving it a completely different presence in the water — especially once it’s 2-3 years old and those fins really start to trail.

Koi fish price for Sanke Butterfly typically comes down to 3 factors: size, pattern quality (how clean the red and black sit against the white base), and fin length/symmetry. Larger, well-patterned specimens with long, symmetrical fins command the highest prices, while younger fish offer a more affordable way to grow a showpiece over time.
