These koi are referred to under a category of Hikarimono among Japanese koi collectors. Hikarimono means that they fish are of one color and have a metallic sheen to their bodies. The Yamabuki Ogon is a yellow/gold tint with a reflective metallic appearance. There is also a platinum white version of this fish called Platinum Ogon. The Yamabuki Ogon is a hardy fish which grows rapidly. 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 Yamabuki Ogon Japanese Descent Koi: 4 to 5 inches; 8 to 10 inches; 11 to 15 inches
