Kohaku

Kohaku - a short-form koi (Nishikigoi) with a big impact

The translation of the name Kohaku means "red and white" and thus simply describes the colouring of this beautiful koi. With its white base colour and bright red markings, which are partially distributed over the body and head. Only the fins should not be coloured red. The Kohaku is one of the first and certainly most famous koi carp, is very popular and still reaches the top ranks at competition events today. Of course, this species is also divided into different subspecies, depending on the red colouring and its significance.

Kohaku, a koi that is said to have fame and honour because there is no other koi species in the world that has been bred so often and won so many prizes. There are two distinguishing features of the Kohaku: if the boundary is towards the tail, it is called "Kiwa", towards the head "Sashi". In young animals, the boundaries are often still somewhat blurred, but an expert is perfectly capable of distinguishing this.
