Description
Goshiki Japanese Koi Carp Cyprinus Carpio
Goshiki pronounced (gosh-key or Go-she-key by some). The term Goshiki literally means “five coloured”, which refers to the red, white, light blue, dark blue, and black coloration of these koi.
There may even be a sixth colour evident, when a blue area is overlaid by black, creating a purple shade to it. This category of Koi fish is characterised by its colour and falls under the non-metallic koi category.
Non-metallic koi do not have a special glow to their scales compared to their metallic counterpart but definitely have beautiful colour patterns. There is considerable variability between the koi of this variety
The traditional Goshiki Koi is relatively dark in colour, but over recent years, some strains have been developed on much more colourful lines. Goshiki are now generally classified with Koromo but were traditionally included in the Kawarimono category.
Some Goshiki koi come from Asagi lineage and have bluish coloration with a reticulated on the back. Classic Goshiki Koi has larger areas of red and dark reticulated patterning, with little white coloration on the body.
