Its magic is the pairing of a soft sky-blue back with a bold zipper of deep indigo scales running down the dorsal line, flanked by warm hi (red) along the sides and cheeks. Viewed from above — the way koi are meant to be enjoyed — a good Shusui looks like flowing water itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFukazawa Koi Farm brings serious size to the variety, and at 18 inches in his second year this male is already ahead of the curve. His even blue back and strong flank hi give him the classic \"autumn water\" look the variety is named for, with plenty of development still to come.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat to look for:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA soft, even sky-blue back free of blemishes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA neat, unbroken line of indigo dorsal scales\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWarm, symmetrical hi along the flanks and cheeks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA clean, pale head with no clouding\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmooth doitsu skin with strong luster\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePowerful early growth and body volume\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":46107029209158,"sku":"y0617b024","price":1600.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1287\/3545\/files\/y0617b024.jpg?v=1786031523","url":"https:\/\/playitkoi.com\/products\/kodama-koi-farm-limited-time-shusui-ii","provider":"Play It Koi","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
