Shusui

Shusui was the first Doitsu variety of koi and are one of the only two blue koi! They are a Doitsu (scale-less) version of Asagi. Shusui was first bred in the early 1900's by Yoshigoro Akiyama mixing the Doitsugio, a German scale fish, and the Asagi.

When looking for a Shusui, you will want to find a symmetrical pattern of scales as the Shusui do not have scales throughout their body, but rather only down the middle of their back along the dorsal fins. The absence of scales on this koi can give off a beautiful blue color. Having Hi marks on the cheeks, head, body and fins are wonderful for this koi.
