Marusei - Small Nisai - Full Scale Doitsu Ochiba - KOI-7261327

This Full Scale Doitsu Ochiba from breeder Marusei immediately stands out due to its copper-brown patches on a cool, silver-grey base — exactly what makes the Ochiba variety so beloved. With a length of 29–32 cm and in the age category Small Nisai (SKU: KOI-7261327), this is a young Japanese koi with a mature appearance.

Features of this Doitsu Ochiba

Visually, the balanced pattern is striking: copper-brown, motoguro-like zones contrast beautifully with the pure grey tones. The smooth Doitsu skin has a strong sheen and an even texture along the flanks, making the pattern clear and sharp. The central scale row along the back is neatly aligned and accentuates the length of the body.

The build is exemplary for this variety: a straight spine, even proportions, and symmetrical, bright fins with well-developed pectoral fins and a nicely flowing dorsal fin. The head pattern is calm and even, with clear transitions and well-placed eyes. In the pond, this koi comes to life due to the subtle, natural contrast — stylish in clear water and characterful in deeper, darker water.

As an Ochiba, the colour intensity can slightly shift over the seasons: the copper-brown tones often deepen in warmer months and may soften a bit in cooler periods. The Doitsu skin supports a sharp delineation, ensuring that the pattern remains beautifully readable even with changes.
