Kanezo - Nisai - Ochiba - KOI-7261450

This Ochiba (Ochiba Shigure) from breeder Kanezo immediately catches the eye due to the copper-red spots that beautifully contrast with the blue-grey, net-like scale pattern. With a length of 40–43 cm and as a Nisai, this Japanese koi has already developed a nice foundation for further growth and refinement. SKU: KOI-7261450.

Features of this Ochiba

What makes this koi special is the combination of a solid body structure with a straight backline and symmetrically shaped fins, and a pattern that is both calm and characterful. The copper-red plates run sharp and fluid along the midline and back, while the even distribution over shoulders and back gives it a balanced appearance.

• Colour and pattern: warm copper-red spots on a cool blue-grey background with clearly defined scale edges (net pattern), creating a stylish contrast in the pond.
• Skin quality: a soft, healthy shine with bright eyes; the scale alignment is tight and symmetrical.
• Build: powerful body with good proportions for this length class; pectoral fins light grey with subtle pattern and beautiful symmetry.

As a Nisai, this Ochiba already has a stable foundation, but you can expect the copper-red hues to deepen a bit more in the coming years and the net pattern (fukurin) to become further refined. Seasonal influences may subtly shift the shade of grey and the depth of the copper, making this koi ever engaging.
