Asagi

Choose an Asagi koi for your pond

Asagi koi combine a blue-gray, net-like scale pattern across the back with red or orange markings along the sides and fins. Their restrained colors offer a different look from the bold red, white, and black patterns of many other Japanese koi. Fitz's Fish Ponds specializes in Japanese-imported koi; use the individual listings in this category to compare the fish rather than choosing by variety name alone.

What to check before buying Asagi

Look at the evenness of the net pattern, the balance of the side markings, and the outline of the fish from above. Review the current photographs and any video alongside the stated size and breeder information. Ask for clarification when age, sex, or origin is not documented; a variety label does not establish those details or guarantee future development.

Before ordering, confirm whether the listing represents the exact fish pictured, review the purchase and delivery terms, and prepare a separate quarantine system. Choose the Asagi whose individual appearance you enjoy and whose care needs match your pond. For help comparing fish or checking breeder provenance, contact Fitz's Fish Ponds before making your selection.

Asagi koi is one of the oldest varieties recognized in koi keeping. Its beauty and simplicity combined capture attention, revolving around the sophisticated roots of Japanese Asagi. These koi have a rich blue color and net-like reticulated pattern across the back, with red hi painted on their belly, fins, and cheeks. The vivid colors are somewhat subdued, providing a peaceful look that is classic in style and captures attention without overshadowing the scenic beauty of the pond.

Asagi's distinctive qualities include an even, clean scale pattern known as "netting" with smooth blue and red transitions. Younger Asagi tend to be lighter, but their beautiful markings become deeper and more vivid with age. A fact to note is that the most desirable Asagi koi display perfect netting, which has consistent spacing, tone, and contrast on its surface, a darker but smooth blue, and a bright, clear hi without overpowering the rest of the body.

We partner with Japan's elite breeders, such as Ooya, Otsuka, Maruhiro, and Marusei, to hand-pick the finest Asagi koi to add to our selection at Fitz's Fish Ponds. Every Asagi fish is selected for its scale clarity, strong color placement, and potential for impressive growth over time. Asagi adds a natural touch to Japanese ponds and collections alike. Check out the rest of our selection and enhance your pond with a piece of koi history.

What is an Asagi koi?

The body of the Asagi Koi features a blue-gray reticulated pattern, surrounded by red on the lower sides, belly, and fins.

What makes Asagi koi special?

+

Asagi Koi are renowned for their clean, unique patterns on scales. Their ‘cool’ blue and ‘warm’ red features blend perfectly. KOI maturation is a distinctive process in which its appearance changes gradually. In this case, the look becomes deeper and richer with time.

How big do Asagi koi typically get?

+

Compared to other KOIs, Asagi is among the bigger ones. Due to their environment, care, and nutrients, these Asagi can reach 24 to 36 inches in size.

Are Asagi koi a good choice for beginners?

+

Asagi are versatile and visually pleasing, making them ideal for both newcomers and seasoned Koi Keepers.

Do Asagi koi get along with other koi varieties?

+

Certainly, Asagi are peaceful KOIs and get along well with other KOI types, whether in community ponds or elsewhere.

How can I maintain my Asagi koi's vivid red and blue colors?

+

They can keep color from fading using highly stable water conditions combined with a proper diet that enhances color.

What does “reticulated pattern” mean in Asagi koi?

+

The characteristic feature of an Asagi is the net-like design on its back. The borders of the scales form the “reticulated net.”

Are Asagi koi considered rare?

+

Asagis are not among the rarest Koi, but premium specimens with perfect netting, deep, rich blue, and clean red are hard to find, thus creating a greater demand.

Why should I buy Asagi koi from Fitz’s Fish Ponds?
