The Doitsu Hariwake koi captures the sparkle of metallic white and bright yellow or orange with the scaleless beauty of Doitsu varieties. The koi are a stunning addition to any pond due to their smooth skin, like a mirror, and sharp, two-tone patterns. Doitsu Hariwake koi are known to have large, glossy scales on their dorsal side, which gives them a smooth body surface and optimal color clarity.
At Fitz's Fish Ponds, we only source Doitsu Hariwake from trusted breeders like Yamasan and Koda. These breeders are known for producing koi with strong contrast and refined shapes, making them great for koi collections. Scroll down to shop our selection today!
