Kanoko Showa koi are exceptional within the Showa family, characterized by a bold tri-color pattern of black, red, and white, with a distinctive red dotted overlay. The “Kanoko” pattern, which features red spots on the body resembling a fawn’s coat, adds a natural soft texture to the koi’s striking colors. These koi display a strong sumi (black) base with vibrant baked hi (red) and well-balanced shiroji (white) accents, making them truly commanding in presence.

At Fitz’s Fish Ponds, we take pride in our Kanoko Showa koi, carefully selected for their vibrant color, elegant body shape, and unique Kanoko trait. These koi are sourced from respected breeders like Isa, Marusei, and Saito, ensuring exceptional markings and strong lineage. Visit the collection below and find a Kanoko Showa koi fish today!
