Doitsu Koi Varieties

 

FennerRobert@hotmail.com

 

Doitsu: Mirrored scaled koi... with enlarged rows of scales along the midline of the back and/or the sides of the fish. The derivation of this name is from the Japanese/Nijongo for "Deutsch", for German scaled carp... initially bred for ease in scaling/preparing the fish for human consumption. Varieties are Kohaku, Sanke and Showa.
