Kujaku

Kujaku koi - elegance meets metallic lustre

Kujaku koi are a fascinating variety of koi that impress with their dazzling metallic colours and unique patterns. The name "Kujaku", which translates from Japanese as "peacock", reflects their splendid appearance. With their vibrant colours and unusual scale patterns, Kujaku koi are a perfect addition to any garden pond that is to be enriched with elegance and character.

Origin and history

Kujaku koi originated in Japan and are a further development of the Hikarimoyo mono koi. They were created through selective breeding to combine the metallic colours of ginrin koi with the complex markings of asagi koi. This combination has produced a koi variety that offers both shimmering glossy colours and striking patterns.

Characteristic features

What distinguishes Kujaku koi is their metallic sheen, which is particularly evident on the head and scale region, as well as the deep colour intensity of their patterns. The colour spectrum ranges from white and silver to orange and red, whereby the scales are often interspersed with a net pattern. This pattern is a typical feature and a quality criterion of Kujaku koi.

Colour variations and patterns

There are many variations in Kujaku koi, which make them particularly versatile and interesting. Some of the best known types are

• Traditional Kujaku: White or silver with bright orange or red accents.
• Doitsu Kujaku: Scaleless variety with a metallic sheen and clear colour areas.
• Ginrin Kujaku: With sparkling scales that reflect the light and create a unique lustre.

Care and keeping

The care of Kujaku koi does not require any special requirements, but they do need a clean environment and high-quality food to maintain their lustre and health. A stable water temperature of between 20 and 25 degrees Celsius and good filtration are crucial for the well-being of the fish. Special food for koi supports the colouring and metallic shine of Kujaku koi.
