Butterfly metallic orange and black scale

This striking koi features a deep burnt orange body with bold black Sumi patches concentrated around the shoulders and mid-body, and a vivid orange face. The long, dramatic fins are dark-tipped and flowing, giving this fish a wild, ornamental character. This fish measures approximately 7–8 inches — a well-grown specimen with rich, intense colouring.

Its warm tones and heavy Sumi patterning suggest a Hi Utsuri or Kin Ki Utsuri-type influence — a bold and captivating variety that makes a strong impression in any pond.
