16.5” Japanese Imported Doitsu Ochiba - P1-5

KOI FISH ONLY SHIPPED MONDAY-WEDNESDAY

Variety: Doitsu Ochiba

Breeder: Hiroi

Size: 16.5"

Ochiba - (oh-chee-buh) : Full name is Ochiba Shigure (oh-chee-buh she-goo-rah) but mostly often just referred to as Ochiba which means “leaves of Fall on the water”. It is a blue or grey bodied Koi with a chocolate brown or rust pattern. Ochiba Koi will often have reticulation on the scales, also called a net pattern, like the Asagi.

Doitsu koi have a unique lack of scales, which gives them a smooth, almost velvety appearance as they glide through the water. This absence of scales allows their vibrant colors to shine brilliantly. 

All of our koi are hand-picked in Japan and brought back to the US. We choose from the best breeders and offer a wide variety that include every variety we can get our hands on. All of the koi are quarantined for a minimum of 4 weeks, during that time we perform slime coat swipes and various other tests to check for any parasites/illnesses and medicate as necessary. Our goal is to provide you with healthy, beautiful koi that you will enjoy for years to come.
