What Is A Kikokuryu Koi?

A Kikokuryu is a special type of Koi that shines with a metallic look. This shiny feature is key to its appearance. As a doitsu variety, it has few or no scales. The term “metallic” shows off the bright shine of its skin, colours, and pectoral fins, making it eye-catching in any pond. It’s important to understand how Kikokuryu differs from “Gin Rin.” Gin Rin refers to the sparkling effect made by the scales on scaled Koi. This beautiful type comes from the non-metallic Kumonryu.
