Hi Utsuri koi are colorful members of the surimono group. They are easily identified by their stark black bodies possessed by bright, red hi patterns, which can also be orange. Unlike other varieties of koi, where multiple colors are displayed, Hi Utsuri features heterogeneous color contrast, which ensures that they stand out in any pond. Utsuri Koi tend to undergo a breathtaking transformation as they age, turning a rich mahogany, making collectors appreciate them even more.

Featuring dazzling red patterns, Utsuri is both vivid and clean, making the color pop intensely while on the black sumi backdrop. Every Hi Utsuri is unique, so their swimming patterns will catch your attention, making it look like the patterns are rippling and flashing.

These Hi Utsuri come from known breeders such as Shinoda, Marusei, and Maruhiro. Over the years, these breeders established a good name for their farm in Japan, where they raised Hi Utsuri with deep lacquer black sumi and strong hi that persists as the fish matures. Due to the carefully managed bloodlines and the intricate methods of raising them, the koi from these farms display brilliant patterns and enjoy unequaled long life in ponds worldwide.

At Fitz’s Fish Ponds, we choose the Hi Utsuri koi from top breeders based on how well their colors blend and body shape. Look through our selection today to discover a Hi Utsuri that can add emotion and strength to your pond.

How large do Hi Utsuri koi typically grow?

To ensure the brightness of red markings and overall health, feed them color-enhancing high-quality pellets (we recommend MICROBE-LIFT Mini Pellets) and occasionally a treat of shrimp or silkworms.

How do I keep Hi Utsuri koi during winters?
