Koi Types

Asagi

Asagi are one of the original types of Koi.  This is evident with their coloration, red and blue/grey. 
When looking at an asagi, the red (hi) should be even on both sides and the grey scales shouldn't
have any flaws.

The Asagi Coloration:

The Asagi grey pattern almost looks like real metal armor.  It is called a net pattern.  It will darken if you have
hard water.  If you have hard water, try to look for one that is lighter than usual.
