This 19-inch Ginrin Showa has a vibrant, energetic presence, with a strong sumi base layered beneath bright, well-defined beni and clean shiroji. The pattern shows good movement from head to tail, with black rising through the body and interacting dynamically with the red and white to create a balanced, three-color composition. The head carries a confident mix of all three colors, giving the fish a complete and expressive Showa character right from the front.
The ginrin is clearly visible across the body, adding a consistent sparkle that enhances the pattern without overpowering it. The body has a smooth, feminine line with good proportion and a steady taper, allowing the pattern to sit naturally and remain easy to read in the water. For anyone looking for a Ginrin Showa koi for sale with classic Japanese koi contrast and a bright, polished Nishikigoi finish, this fish offers a lively and well-balanced presentation.
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.
