To own an Asagi is to own a piece of living history — a fish whose lineage predates virtually every other variety in the hobby.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis stunning specimen displays the Asagi's unmistakable signature: a cool blue-grey dorsal surface covered in a precise, net-like reticulated scale pattern, dramatically contrasted by vivid orange-red (Hi) coloration that blazes along the belly, cheeks, and lateral line. The pectoral fins carry a warm blush of red at their base, fading to translucent white at the tips — an elegant detail that makes the Asagi instantly recognizable from above.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eVariety Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVariety:\u003c\/strong\u003e Asagi — one of the oldest koi varieties, over 160 years of heritage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColors:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cool blue-grey reticulated scale pattern on the dorsal surface\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAccent:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vivid orange-red (Hi) on the belly, cheeks, lateral line, and fin bases\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFins:\u003c\/strong\u003e Translucent white with warm orange-red blush at the base — a classic Asagi hallmark\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFin Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Standard fin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12\" — a mature, commanding specimen\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat to Expect\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHealthy, farm-raised koi from Crystal Creek Koi Farm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA true heritage variety — prized by collectors and historians of the koi hobby\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHi (red) coloration may expand and deepen with age — Asagi are known to improve over time\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe blue reticulated pattern becomes more defined as the fish matures\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHardy and adaptable — peaceful temperament ideal for community ponds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePond Requirements\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMinimum 500-gallon pond recommended\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStable water temperature, filtration, and aeration required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with all koi and goldfish varieties\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003chr\u003e\u003cp\u003e📦 \u003cstrong\u003ePer-Box Shipping Limit:\u003c\/strong\u003e We can ship up to \u003cstrong\u003e3 fish of this size\u003c\/strong\u003e per box.
