Doitsu Ochiba is unique because it blends the earthy beauty of Ochiba patterns with the sleek and refined appearance of Doitsu scaling. The koi features a gentle autumn-like mix of gray markings over a bronze, yellow, or brown base, resembling fallen leaves resting on the water.

The name “Doitsu” describes the reduced scale feature, which indicates little to no body scales, except for a clean line of mirror-like scales along the dorsal and lateral lines. Doitsu Ochiba's friendly behavior makes them popular among koi fish enthusiasts. They are easy to hand-feed and often greet their pond owners at the surface, adding a sense of tranquility to the water. Their subtle color scheme visually enhances the elegance and balance of vibrant and subdued koi varieties, adding splendor to any pond.

At Fitz’s Fish Ponds, we source Doitsu Ochiba from top breeders like Hiroi, Ikarashi Ozumi, and Ikarashi Toshinobu. These farms focus on breeding koi with striking patterns, strong body shapes, and beautiful skin. Doitsu Ochiba adds contrast, warmth, and subtle beauty to your pond.
