Shiro Utsuri
$0.00
This 19-inch Shiro Utsuri shows a strong, flowing sumi pattern set against a bright white base, giving it the bold contrast that defines this classic Japanese koi. In the image, the black wraps through the body with good movement, creating a sense of rhythm from head to tail, while the shiroji remains open enough to keep the overall look clean and balanced. The head carries an engaging mix of black and white, adding immediate character and drawing the eye forward.
The body has a smooth, feminine line that supports the pattern without feeling heavy, allowing the sumi to stand out clearly in the water. The skin appears bright and even, and the black has a deep, lacquer-like quality that gives the koi real visual strength. For anyone looking for a Shiro Utsuri koi for sale with classic Nishikigoi contrast and a well-composed, flowing pattern, this fish has a confident and very refined presence.
How are koi packaged for shipping?
Each koi is double-bagged with oxygen and shipped in an insulated, temperature-controlled box.
Do I need to be home when it arrives?
Yes — someone 18 or older needs to be available to receive the shipment as soon as it arrives. Prompt unboxing and acclimation is important for the fish’s health.
What happens in bad weather?
We may delay shipment during extreme weather to protect the koi, and will let you know if that happens.
Can I combine multiple koi into one shipment?
Yes — multiple purchases can typically be combined into a single shipment. Ask us about holding your koi if you’re still deciding on others.
Factors we account for
- Koi size and quantity — larger or multiple fish need more water volume and larger boxes.
- Box weight — water, oxygen, and insulation add real, billable weight.
- Distance and destination — domestic vs. international, and how remote the delivery address is.
- Season and weather — extreme heat or cold requires heat packs or extra insulation to protect the fish in transit.
- Speed of delivery — live animals ship overnight or via expedited air cargo, never standard ground.
