Fish Details, Description and Information Below:

🐟 Platinum Short Body Koi – Ornamental Pond Fish for Sale

The Platinum Short Body Koi is a selectively bred variety of koi carp (Cyprinus rubrofuscus) known for its brilliant platinum-white coloration and compact, short-bodied shape. This shorter body structure gives the koi a more rounded, chunky appearance and can make them appear more vibrant and animated when swimming.

Originating from Japan and bred worldwide, Platinum Short Body Koi are prized for their elegance, hardiness, and ability to stand out in ponds, especially against dark or plant-filled backgrounds. They are well-suited for both traditional koi ponds and large decorative aquariums.
