Ochiba Koi has one of the most unique and eye-catching color mixtures in the koi world. Their name translates to “fallen leaves” in Japanese, accurately depicting the soft blend of blue-gray base with copper, brown, or bronze patches. This combination looks organic and seasonal, depicting an autumnal aesthetic of leaves drifting on a pond.
An equally calm temperament mirrors their earthy colors. Ochiba are famously known for being friendly and welcoming, often being some of the most well-natured koi in the pond. They grow steadily and can reach impressive sizes while maintaining their low-contrast patterns, which blend beautifully with bold and solid-colored families.
At Fitz's Fish Ponds, our Ochiba are handpicked from trusted fish breeders, including Hiroi, Kanno, Maruhiro, and Marusei, all renowned for refining this variety’s signature soft patterning and body quality. Whether you want to add a natural color or a mellow koi, our Ochiba collection adds understated charm and character to your pond.
