Their magnificently flowing fins are a display of elegance when viewed from above. A native of Eastern Asia, these beautiful, animated, hardy specimens are completely peaceful even at their maximum captive length of more than two feet. Koi can survive winters in many areas of the U.S. Simply allow oxygen exchange by ensuring that a hole exists in any solid ice that might form on the top of the pond. These gentle giants can live in captivity for decades. All plant roots in a barrel or pond should be protected, as the Koi will enjoy the tasty treat of any exposed plant roots.

Please note, these koi are assorted colors, and the photo shown is only a representation of one possible color. Ordering one will be one koi of a randomly chosen color.

Approximate arrival size for Butterfly Koi: Small: 2 to 3 inches; Medium 4 to 5 inches; Large 6 to 8 inches
