Breeders Specializing in Goshiki Koi: 

Kanno

Hiroi

Goshiki koi are arguably one of the most stunning koi you can put in any pond. In Japanese, Goshiki means “five colors.” These koi demonstrate a fabulous blending of kaleidoscopic white, red, black, and light and dark blue. Their base pattern flows according to Kohaku’s standards, but instead of a solid background, an intricately reticulated blue or gray that darkens with age outlines the koi’s body. The combination of blue and gray and the Goshiki’s distinct color layering gives them a rich, metallic, velvet look.

What’s more astonishing is the extent of change Goshiki koi undergo as they age. Their colors are prone to darkening and becoming more intense, with increased blue netting and red hi becoming a splendid contrast. Premium Goshiki koi also present good skin texture with vibrant colors as they mature.

At Fitz’s Fish Ponds, we are delighted to offer hand-picked Goshiki from leading breeders such as Kanno and Hiroi. Our team carefully chooses koi that have contrasts that are bright, distinct, and multi-colored, along with excellent pattern placement and body structure. We are sure you will appreciate the dynamic movement and striking beauty of the Goshiki. If you want to build a show pond or something that is an eye catcher, look no further!
