Butterfly metallic orange and white scale

This classic koi displays a crisp white base with bold, flowing deep orange markings running along the back and mid-body, fading softly at the edges into the white. The clean two-tone contrast and well-defined pattern make this a textbook example of the variety. This fish measures approximately 6–7 inches — a nicely sized specimen with vibrant, well-developed colouring.

Its pattern is a hallmark of the Kohaku — the most iconic and beloved of all koi varieties, and often the first choice for collectors at any level.
