Dragon Scale Kohaku Koi For Sale | Red & White Metallic Beauty

product Description:

Kohaku is the koi variety most people picture when they think “koi” — that classic red-on-white pattern is the gold standard collectors measure everything else against. This one takes it a step further with the Dragon Scale (Doitsu) trait, giving it those large, glassy, almost armor-like scales that catch the light differently than a standard-scaled koi.

If you’re browsing koi for sale and want something that photographs well and holds attention in the pond, Kohaku is usually the safest — and most rewarding — place to start or add to a collection. The hi (red) pattern on this one is clean and well-placed, which matters more than people realize; symmetry and contrast are what separate a good Kohaku from a forgettable one.

Quick specs:

• Variety: Kohaku with Dragon Scale (Doitsu) trait
• Pattern: Red (hi) on white (shiroji) base
• Best for: established ponds, collectors, or anyone building a serious koi lineup
• Coloration and pattern edges will continue to sharpen with age

Kohaku like this tend to move fast, especially with clean pattern separation like this one has. If it caught your eye, don’t sit on it too long.
