The colors and markings of Ai Goromo koi are always in perfect harmony, making them stand out; this is especially evident in the blue Ai Goromo koi. Their base is snow white, while their red markings seem almost as if they were hand-painted, engraved on their scales in blue or indigo netting.
The word “Ai” is Japanese for “indigo,” which refers to the bluish tinge of the red reticulated patterns. The combination of form and color makes the floral Goromo one of the best varieties in any koi collection. The deeper portions of these Koi’s netted decorations accentuate beauty and mellowness with increased age, making them more refined. These fish are a culmination of pristine breeding and portray the most notable features of Guanhe and Asagi descendants. The indigo netting is more than an ornamental detail—it is a hallmark of artistry in koi breeding.
At Fitz’s Fish Ponds, we have relationships with the leading Ai Goromo breeders, such as Marusho, Marusei, and Marushin. We ensure that each Koi has been carefully hand-selected based on our standards for excellent color, vivid patterns, and strong reticulation so that you can add a fantastic new addition to your pond.
