10" Showa Sanshoku Standard Fin Koi — Live Pond Fish [Decorative Grade]

Bold, Dramatic & Unforgettable — A Show-Quality Showa

Few koi command attention like a well-patterned Showa Sanshoku.

At 9 inches, this is a mature, impressive fish — the kind that becomes the centerpiece of any pond. Farm-raised at Crystal Creek Koi Farm with meticulous care, this Showa arrives healthy, strong, and ready to make an immediate statement in your water garden.
