Breeders Specializing in Goromo Showa Koi Fish:

Marusho, Shinterro

The Goromo Showa is a rare and captivating koi that brings together the power of the Showa variety and the refined texture of Koromo patterning. It features the familiar white base, deep black sumi, and vibrant red markings you’d expect from a classic Showa. What makes it different is the distinctive reticulation across the red areas, a signature trait inherited from the Koromo lineage. This net-like patterning gives the red a soft, layered appearance that resembles a robe draped over the koi’s body.

At Fitz’s Fish Ponds, we hand-select Goromo Showa Koi from trusted breeders like Marusho and Shinterro, both known for producing exceptional examples of this rare variety. We look for clean reticulation, sharp color separation, and strong body structure. The ideal Goromo Showa shows all three colors clearly on the head, with bold sumi, balanced white space, and red markings layered with that signature Koromo-style netting. Because this combination is so difficult to produce through breeding, Goromo Showa remains a prized and uncommon addition to any koi pond. Browse our selection to find a koi that blends depth, tradition, and rare visual beauty today!

GOROMO SHOWA KOI FISH FAQS: PATTERN COMPLEXITY, GROWTH, COMPATIBILITY, AND CARE

What is a Goromo Showa koi? A Showa with dressed-up red.

+

Goromo Showa koi have the traditional black, red, and white pattern of a Showa, but the red areas are overlaid with a reticulated blue or black pattern. This netting effect adds a textured and refined layer over the vibrant hi.

How is a Goromo Showa different from a regular Showa? Same colors, added detail.

+

A standard Showa features bold, solid red, black, and white colors. The Goromo Showa keeps this base pattern but introduces Koromo-style reticulation on the red, giving it a unique and elegant twist.

Where does the Goromo Showa come from? A careful blend of two strong lines.

+

This variety is the result of crossing high-quality Koromo and Showa koi. Breeders aim to preserve the Showa’s strong three-color balance while adding the delicate Goromo netting to the red scales.

How large do Goromo Showa koi get? Big enough to show every detail.

+

With the right care, Goromo Showa can grow up to 26 to 30 inches. Their large frame offers plenty of space for the complex patterning to develop and shine.

Is Goromo Showa koi beginner-friendly? care and hardiness explained.

+

Yes. They are just as hardy as standard Showa koi. The Koromo overlay on the red does not affect their health or care requirements, making them a great option for collectors and first-time owners alike.

Can Goromo Showa koi live with other koi? Absolutely.

+

These koi are peaceful and social, making them ideal for community ponds. Their balanced color palette and soft red detailing pair well with both bright and dark koi varieties.

What is the best food for Goromo Showa koi to maintain color and pattern?

+

Use a high-quality koi pellet that supports skin and pigment health. Avoid feeds with intense artificial coloring to help preserve the natural reticulation on the red markings.

Can I keep a Goromo Showa in a small pond? For a time, yes.

+

Juvenile Goromo Showa do well in smaller ponds, but their full color and reticulation will show best in larger, well-filtered environments. More space helps their pattern evolve and stay sharp.

Is the Goromo Showa a rare variety? Yes, especially with clean reticulation.

+

This variety is not common. Breeding for balanced sumi, crisp white areas, and Koromo-style red is challenging. A true Goromo Showa with clear definition across all three colors is highly sought after.

Why should I buy Goromo Showa koi from Fitz’s Fish Ponds? Selected for beauty, balance, and depth.

+

We focus on koi that show strong pattern formation, clean reticulation, and body conformation. Each Goromo Showa in our collection is chosen for its unique visual harmony and standout appeal.
