This 18-inch Asagi has a very clean, traditional presentation, with evenly aligned blue-gray reticulation covering the entire back in a tight, consistent net pattern. The scale edges are well defined, giving the fish that classic, orderly look that makes Asagi so respected among Japanese koi. The head remains light and uncluttered, which keeps the overall appearance fresh and balanced, while the subtle contrast between the cool body and the lighter face adds to its calm, refined presence.
The red hi is neatly placed on the pectoral fins, adding just the right amount of warmth without overwhelming the variety’s understated character. The body shows a smooth, feminine line with good proportion and a gentle taper, allowing the pattern to sit evenly from head to tail. For anyone looking for an Asagi koi for sale with classic Nishikigoi structure, clean reticulation, and a very composed, traditional look, this fish offers a quiet elegance that stands out in a pond.
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.
