It won't shout like a Kohaku. It is the fish visitors ask about on their second look.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOchiba comes from Chagoi and Soragoi lines, and it inherited the Chagoi personality. These are famously calm, friendly koi that learn to hand-feed quickly and often lead the rest of the pond over to you. They also tend to grow big. This female from Kanno Koi Farm in Niigata is already 18.9 inches at two years old, with a full body that points to plenty more size ahead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat to look for:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClear contrast between the grey and the copper, not a muddy blend\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEven netting across the scales, especially over the grey\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCopper patches placed with some balance from head to tail\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA broad, full body, which an Ochiba carries well as it grows\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":50512136831046,"sku":"y0609t025","price":1795.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1287\/3545\/files\/y0609t025.jpg?v=1790443852","url":"https:\/\/playitkoi.com\/products\/kodama-koi-farm-limited-time-ochiba-shigure","provider":"Play It Koi","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
