Sanke Koi

High Quality Koi, also known as Taisho Sanshoku or Sanke, originate in Japan, and are imported from Asia. Pure white coloration is adorned with red (hi) and black (sumi) markings over the body. Sanke Koi are part of "Gosanke," or "The Three Families," which also includes Kohaku and Showa Koi. In the United States, "Gosanke" Koi are often referred to as "The Big Three." The Sanke Koi we are offering are rated by breeders as AAA Grade Select - the highest rating these fish can receive. They are produced by some of the best brood stock in Asia. While Sanke Koi can live longer than 200 years, they typically live 25 to 35 years.
