What is Armoured Scale on Hariwake Koi?
Armoured scale refers to a distinct type of scale formation seen in this koi. Unlike traditional fully-scaled koi, armoured scales are large, neatly arranged, and appear to be “plated,” resembling armor.
In Hariwake koi, which are known for their metallic white (platinum) base with contrasting coloured patterns, armoured scale enhances their aesthetic appeal by creating a bold, reflective texture that highlights their coloration.
Characteristics of Armoured Scale on Hariwake:
-
Prominent scale definition: Each scale stands out, often giving a 3D appearance.
-
Metallic luster: Scales reflect light intensely, especially on the platinum-white base.
-
Durability & health: Often associated with strong, healthy koi due to the thickness of each scale.
-
Contrast enhancement: The armoured look contrasts beautifully with the clean pattern of Hariwake's colour markings.
This type of scale is especially sought after in show-quality koi, where the uniformity and sharpness of each scale can elevate the overall koi grade.
