Goshiki were created in the early 1900’s by crossing Asgagi with Kohaku. The end result is a fish, whose name translates literally as ‘five colours’. Goshiki will normally display the colours of a Kohaku (red & white), but with a net like reticulation (typical of the Asagi) existing on the skin surface in black, blue and grey. This makes for an incredibly striking fish which is precisely the negative of a Kohaku.
This particular Koi has glittering scales, and red (tancho) on it's head- how awesome is that! The black glittering scales fade in to a sea of blue on this beauty.
