This 20-inch Maruten Kohaku shows the refined simplicity that makes Kohaku one of the most admired varieties of Japanese koi. Its pattern features a distinctive maruten-style head marking supported by additional hi across a bright white base, creating the balanced red-and-white contrast associated with classic Nishikigoi. As a female 2-year koi, it offers an elegant presentation with the clean, composed look collectors often seek in premium koi for sale.
The overall appeal is crisp and traditional, with strong visual harmony between the beni pattern and the purity of the shiroji. The visible placement of color gives this Japanese koi a polished, orderly appearance in the water, while the 20-inch size adds presence and grace. For buyers looking for a Maruten Kohaku with timeless character and clear pattern definition, this koi is a beautiful example of the variety.
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.
