DOITSU SANKE KOI FISH FAQS

When do you ship the koi?

+

We ship all our koi fish Monday–Wednesday using next-day air. If you would like a specific arrival date for your order, please let us know in the order comments when you checkout.

What does a Doitsu Sanke koi look like?

+

A Doitsu Sanke Koi is a variation of Sanke koi with no scales at all. Its primary features are a white body with red and black markings, smooth skin, or some scales along the dorsal line.

What sets Doitsu Sanke apart from regular Sanke koi?

+

The most significant difference is the absence or presence of scales. The lack of scales gives Doitsu Sanke smooth skin, which makes the red and black patterns stand out more than they do on the Sanke.

What is the maximum length of Doitsu Sanke koi?

+

They can reach lengths of more than 24 inches, which is determined by genetics, available space, and food. As with all koi, their size depends on the environment and the care they are provided.

Are Doitsu Sanke koi high maintenance?

+

No, the care required is minimal, just like any other koi. Because of their smooth skin, pattern evaluation becomes easier, which many koi keepers appreciate.

Can Doitsu Sanke live with other koi?

+

Fitz's Fish Ponds is open Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri, Sat, Sun.

What should I feed my Doitsu Sanke koi?

+

Feed them koi pellets while ensuring they include color enhancers to maintain the vibrancy of the red and black colorations. For seasonal changes, consider adding fresh fruits or shrimp.

What does "Doitsu" mean in koi?

+

"Doitsu" refers to koi bred from German mirror carp, which are scaleless or partially scaled. For Doitsu Sanke, it means the same traditional red, black, and white pattern but without the complete set of scales.

Can I keep Doitsu Sanke koi in a smaller pond?

+

Smaller ponds are fine for short-term use, but they will be happiest with more room. More room improves growth and allows for more defined patterns.

Are Doitsu Sanke koi rare?

+

They are not as common as a traditional Sanke but are increasing in popularity. Their bold appearance, coupled with their unique sleek texture, makes them stand out.

Why choose Doitsu Sanke for my pond?

+

If you like distinct contrasting patterns paired with smooth textures, Doitsu Sanke delivers strong character to your water garden. They are a modern take on a long-loved favorite.
