11" Ki Utsuri Standard Fin Koi — Live Pond Fish [Premium Grade]

Gold Over Shadow — The Striking Ki Utsuri

The Ki Utsuri is one of the rarest and most visually arresting members of the Utsurimono family — a variety defined by its commanding jet-black (Sumi) base dramatically overlaid with bold, vivid yellow (Ki) markings. Where the Hi Utsuri burns with red-orange fire, the Ki Utsuri glows with warm golden-yellow — a softer but equally striking contrast that makes this fish a true standout in any pond.

This 11" farm-raised specimen from Crystal Creek Koi Farm is a mature, impressive fish with full pattern development on display. The Ki is rich and saturated, the Sumi is deep and well-defined — a collector-quality Ki Utsuri ready to command attention from every angle.
