🐟 Utsurimono Koi (Cyprinus rubrofuscus)
A Bold Jet-Black Body With Striking White, Red or Yellow • A Dramatic Two-Colour Pattern • A Powerful Pond Showpiece
 
📋 The Utsurimono Koi, whose name means "reflections", carries a bold, jet-black base broken by striking patches of a single second colour, giving it a dramatic two-colour look. It comes in three forms: Shiro Utsuri (black and white), Hi Utsuri (black and red) and Ki Utsuri (black and yellow), and each one has a powerful, graphic beauty.
It's a captive-bred ornamental koi, developed in Japan from the Amur carp. Every Utsurimono Koi we ship is feeding well.
This is a peaceful, sociable pond fish that glides gracefully through the water, its black pattern growing bolder and more striking as it matures, 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.
