11" Shiro Bekko Standard Fin Koi — Live Pond Fish [Select Grade]

Snow White with Ink-Black Spots — The Classic Shiro Bekko

There's a timeless elegance to the Shiro Bekko that never goes out of style. A flawless snow-white (Shiro) body punctuated by bold, well-defined black (Sumi) tortoiseshell spots — clean, graphic, and utterly striking. This 10" specimen is a mature, well-proportioned fish that brings a sophisticated monochromatic beauty to any pond, standing out brilliantly against dark water and colorful pond plants alike.

The Shiro Bekko is the most classic of the three Bekko varieties, and its crisp black-on-white pattern has made it a perennial favorite among koi enthusiasts who appreciate understated elegance over flashy coloration. Farm-raised at Crystal Creek Koi Farm, this fish arrives healthy, strong, and ready to make an immediate impression.
