🐟 Short Body Koi – Ornamental Pond Fish for Sale

The Short Body Koi is a selectively bred variety of koi carp (Cyprinus rubrofuscus) featuring a more compact, rounded body shape compared to standard koi. This genetic variation gives them a unique, almost “chubby” appearance, making them stand out in ponds and ornamental fish collections.

Available in a wide range of colors and patterns—including Kohaku, Sanke, and Showa varieties—Short Body Koi are prized for both their beauty and their more maneuverable swimming style in smaller pond spaces.
