The fish in the photos is the exact fish you receive when you order.
The colors appear clearer and more dramatic (less interference of scale pattern). On a sunny day, the metallic luster “pops” — enhancing the visual beauty of your pond.
The pattern edges on this koi are crisp.
Uniqueness / Rarity
While Hariwake koi are not extremely rare, high-quality specimens (especially Doitsu with good pattern and body shape) are prized.
A female is valuable for breeding, and a good 28 cm specimen is a mid‑sized koi with room to grow.
Collectors often seek well‐patterned koi of this class to complement or diversify their pond.
Breeding potential
Female koi of desirable varieties are useful if your plan includes breeding or expanding your koi stock.
A strong female can pass on good traits (body shape, coloration) to offspring.
Growth potential
At 28 cm, the fish is already decently sized, ready to grow much bigger every spring/summer season.
Balance & Ecosystem
A koi with vibrant coloration and solid health can be a centerpiece that enhances the overall look and balance of your pond’s population.
Many keepers like to have a few “star” fish in the pond to serve as focal points.
