These koi are referred to under a category of Hikarimono among Japanese koi collectors. Hikarimono means that the fish are of one color and have a metallic sheen to their bodies. The Platinum Ogon is a platinum white/silver with a reflective metallic appearance. These koi really stand out from the crowd due to their solid white appearance and metallic reflection. The koi of Japanese descent we offer here at Petsolutions are AAA quality rated and hand picked for quality of not only color but also body conformation. When koi are shown at events in Asia, they are usually shown in round pools and they are always viewed from above. Koi when viewed from the side do not show their best color, as the majority of the pigment is on the top side of the fish.

Approximate arrival size for Imported Platinum Ogon Japanese Descent Koi: 4 to 5 inches; 8 to 10 inches; 11 to 15 inches
