🐟 Platinum Ogon Koi (Cyprinus rubrofuscus)
A Gleaming Solid Metallic Platinum-White Body • A Brilliant Shine That Glows Like Moonlight • A Pure, Elegant Pond Showpiece
📋 The Platinum Ogon Koi, also known as Purachina, carries a single, solid metallic platinum-white colour that gleams from head to tail, with a brilliant, pearly shine. Its clean, pure look glows like moonlight in the water and makes a striking contrast against colourful koi.
It's a captive-bred ornamental koi, developed in Japan from the Amur carp. Every Platinum Ogon Koi we ship is feeding well.
This is a peaceful, sociable pond fish that glides gracefully through the water, its metallic body glowing even in deeper water, and it quickly learns to come to the surface to feed from your hand. It's long-lived, hardy and grows into a true pond centrepiece, reaching up to 90cm, so a pond of 4,000L or more suits it well.
