Purachina Koi For Sale

Purachina (also known as Platinum Ogon) are Koi of a solid White metallic colour. When a Koi Carp is described as metallic, the easiest way of defining this is by looking at the fins which will be opaque (i.e., not transparent). The skin of a metallic fish may also look reflective under certain light. Purachina on occasion may also exhibit incredibly striking, glittering scales. This phenomenon is known as Ginrin. A Purachina displaying such scales would therefore be known as Ginrin Purachina.  

Purachina are fairly simple Koi, which do not possess the interesting and intricate patterns/colours of many other Koi varieties. Despite this, Purachina will often stand out in a pond, as the bright metallic lustre of this beautiful Koi’s skin penetrates through the water like a beacon. The White of a Purachina will often provide well-needed balance to a multi-coloured Koi pond. 

When selecting Purachina, you should be looking for a fish of high quality, with good scalation. As these are single coloured Koi, there should be no pigmentation or blemishes on the skin or head of the fish. The White colour should be bright, almost clinical with a metallic sheen. 

Purachina are commonly known as Ogon Koi (i.e. Koi of a single, solid colour). Also included in this fiercely popular group of fish is Yellow Ogon (known as Yamabuki) and Orange Ogon (known as Orenji Ogon). 

If you’re looking to add some elegance to your pond, Purachina will make a great addition.
