Butterfly tri-color large scale

This eye-catching koi displays a stunning tricolour pattern of bold black (Sumi), vivid orange and crisp white distributed across the body and long, flowing fins. The colours are sharply defined and well-balanced, giving this fish a lively, dynamic appearance. This fish measures approximately 7–8 inches — a well-grown specimen with mature, striking markings.

Its classic tricolour patterning is a hallmark of the Showa Sanshoku — one of the most celebrated and sought-after varieties in the koi world, prized for its bold contrast and dramatic presence.
