Doitsu koi carry scales only in neat rows along the back and sides, so the black, red and white sit on smooth skin and the color edges look cut rather than painted. The tradeoff is that nothing hides a weak spot. On a doitsu fish, skin quality is everything.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHiroi Koi Farm in Ojiya has been breeding koi since 1938. It is best known for its Goshiki, with doitsu Gosanke among its other lines. This male is 13.4 inches today, so most of his growing is still ahead of him, and it will happen in your pond.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat to look for:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGlossy, even skin with no blemishes or rough texture\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA tidy, regular row of scales along the dorsal line\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSharp edges where the red, black and white meet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSumi on the head and at the base of the pectoral fins, as in any Showa\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1287\/3545\/files\/All_Japan_Nishiki_Koi_-_associaton_baner.png?v=1745249181\" alt=\"All Japan Nishiki Koi Association\" width=\"338\" height=\"70\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Kodama Koi Farm","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50512136437830,"sku":"y0609t007","price":1495.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1287\/3545\/files\/y0609t007.jpg?v=1790443851","url":"https:\/\/playitkoi.com\/products\/kodama-koi-farm-limited-time-doitsu-showa-1","provider":"Play It Koi","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
