Karashigoi Koi for Sale

Karashigoi are single-coloured koi in yellow or mustard tones. Simple, but far from boring. They're one of the fastest-growing varieties in koi keeping, and some of the biggest koi ever recorded have been Karashigoi. If you want size and presence in your pond, this is a variety worth looking at seriously.

There's no pattern to rely on, so everything comes down to body and skin quality. Selection is focused on fish with strong frames and the potential to grow on well. Body conformation is the single most important factor here.

Skin tone is assessed for warmth and evenness. The yellow should be consistent across the body, without patchiness or an uneven finish. Depth of colour is also considered, as Karashigoi that hold a rich mustard tone tend to look stronger in the pond than those that wash out.

Finnage is given more attention than in patterned varieties, as clean, well-shaped fins contribute significantly to the overall look of a plain-coloured fish.

This is a variety for keepers who want a big, healthy presence in the pond. The focus here is on Karashigoi with the body and skin quality to deliver exactly that.
