Doitsu Kohaku, a modern adaptation of the Kohaku, maintains red and white contrast with a unique twist of no scales. The word “Doitsu” means the koi type, which has no or very few body scales and gives a smooth, leathery touch. The borderless white skin of Kohaku with red hi markings is stunningly clear, making the patterns stand out.

In addition to the striking pattern, Doitsu Kohaku is loved for its unscaled skin, which showcases the vivid colors underneath. Its blended contemporary and traditional design makes it popular among pond owners.

At Fitz’s Fish Ponds, we work closely with dedicated breeders who prioritize rich color, refined pattern detail, and the long-term well-being of each fish to bring you the highest quality Doitsu Kohaku koi.

What sets apart Doitsu Kohaku koi?

+

Doitsu Kohaku's remarkable smooth skin enhances the beauty of the red markings on these koi. Their lack of scales is what sets them apart from other koi.

How big can Doitsu Kohaku koi grow?

+

Like the other kinds of koi, the growth of Doitsu Kohaku koi depends on the water quality, diet, and area available in the pond. These fish can grow an impressive 24 to 30 inches long if adequately cared for.

Are Doitsu Kohaku koi suitable for beginners?

Because their appearance has brightly colored and shaped red markings, Doitsu Kohaku is easily recognizable, making them suitable for beginners. They are also hardy and social, which allows novice koi keepers to enjoy their unique look without worrying about added difficulty.

Do Doitsu Kohaku koi mingle with other types of koi?

+

They certainly do. Doitsu Kohaku koi are peaceful and enjoy their counterparts' company, making them great for community ponds.

What food is best for my Doitsu Kohaku koi?

+

These koi do best with clean water and a balanced diet. We suggest feeding them high-quality koi pellets that improve skin and color health. They would look their best with good water quality as their skin is more exposed due to a lack of scales.

How do I prepare for winter with my Doitsu Kohaku koi?

+

Like other types of koi, Doitsu Kohaku gains advantages from a feeding routine in the winter months. However, some care needs to be taken with this type of koi; if the temperatures are too low, it is important not to overfeed, and care must be taken so that the pond does not freeze over.

How small of a pond can I keep a Doitsu Kohaku koi in?

+

Doitsu Kohaku starts off fine in smaller-volume ponds, but eventually, it will need one with a minimum volume of 1,000 gallons.

Are Doitsu Kohaku koi common or rare?

+

They aren’t rare, but a high-quality Doitsu with sharp, clear patterns and flawless skin is desirable. Their texture alone makes them valuable for hobbyists and collectors.
