Soragoi koi are cherished for their quiet yet powerful presence in any koi pond. These koi have solid, unbroken steely blue or slate gray hues throughout their bodies. In an almost poetic fashion, their name translates to "sky gray," reflecting their serene personality and the hues of water and sky surrounding them. They are especially noted for their temperament.
Soragois are very friendly and quickly bond with their owners when feeding is involved, making them a joy to own. They are also very peaceful additions to any pond and grow rapidly. In no time, they can become the largest fish in the collection, which makes them even more appealing to koi lovers.
