Koi Mix 5-11 cm

A Koi Mix refers to a group of koi fish that includes a variety of colors, patterns, and types, usually ungraded or not selected for specific show standards.

It’s a mix of different koi varieties, such as:

  • Kohaku – white body with red markings

  • Sanke (Taisho Sanke) – white with red and black

  • Showa – black with red and white

  • Bekko, Ogon, Utsuri, and others

  • Plus, some may be crosses or unique patterns that don't fall into strict categories

🐠 What Size is “Koi Mix 8–11 cm”?

  • These are young koi, also called juveniles

  • Around 3–4 inches in length

  • At this stage, colors and patterns may still develop and change slightly

  • They are usually sold at this size because they’re hardy enough to transport and cheaper than adult koi

✅ Pros of Buying a Koi Mix

Benefit Why it’s Good
Affordable Much cheaper than specific show-quality koi
Variety You get different colors and patterns
Fun to Grow Watching them grow and develop is rewarding
Hardy Most mixes are bred for strong health and adaptability

⚠️ Things to Watch Out For

Risk What to Check
Health Clear eyes, no white spots, active swimming
Overcrowding Avoid sellers with too many koi in one tank
Unknown Genetics Mixed koi may grow into unexpected shapes or colors
Size Planning Koi can grow 30–60 cm or more — they need a pond eventually
