Koi Types

Doitsu Hariwake

Doitsu Hariwake are like a Kikusui, but they have a metallic yellow pattern instead of
a metallic red one.  Look for one with a nice Kohaku pattern and snow white skin.  Doitsu
Hariwake are an interesting variety.  They are yellow and white.  This color combination is rare.

Doitsu Hariwake

The yellow of a Doitsu Hariwake gets deeper, like a Yamabuki Ogon, when it
is exposed to more sunlight.  If you have one in a tank in your basement and your Doitsu Hariwake loses
some of its yellow, don't worry, for it will come back in the summer.
