Koi Types

Kikusui

Kikusui are a scaless version of a Hariwake.  Look for one with a nice Kohaku pattern
that has nice sharp edges and very white skin.  A Kikusui's pattern is judged the same way
as a Kohaku's is.

How do you get a Kikusui?

Kikusuis are bred by combining a Kohaku with a Platinumo Ogon.  When you breed these two Koi, you
end up with a Hariwake. You then take the Hariwake and breed it with a mirror carp or
scaless carp, then you'll end up with a Kikusui.
