17cm Japanese Imported Kikusui – Aokiya Koi Farm

This 17cm Japanese Imported Kikusui from Aokiya Koi Farm is a bright and elegant metallic koi variety admired for its luminous platinum-white body and vibrant orange-red (hi) patterning. As a Doitsu-based variety, the Kikusui features a smooth, scaleless body that enhances the clarity and brilliance of its colors, creating a sleek, polished appearance that stands out beautifully in any koi pond.

At 17cm, this young Kikusui displays excellent body conformation, a strong metallic sheen, and well-balanced color placement. The crisp contrast between the bright white base and rich orange-red markings gives this koi exceptional visual appeal, while its clean pattern and reflective skin highlight the refined beauty that makes Kikusui a favorite among hobbyists and collectors alike.

Imported directly from Japan and selected from the QT9 batch, this Kikusui has been carefully chosen for its healthy structure, vibrant coloration, and future development potential. With proper nutrition, stable water conditions, and attentive care, the metallic luster is expected to become even more radiant while the hi continues to strengthen, enhancing the koi's overall elegance as it matures.
