In this video we will explore the 15 most UNIQUE and RARE Koi varieties. They Koi displayed in this video are not just beautiful Koi, but are almost unique and rare Koi varieties. Most of them you will not see often. They all have something special, the rare Koi we show in this video all have the same thing in common, they are of exceptional quality and are beautiful Koi.

But what makes a Koi RARE? Well, first of all this is an opinion. There is no real rare Koi variety or unique Koi variety. It the opinion of people, because a certain variety is more difficult to obtain or is not so common. Take for example the Asagi we show you in this video, Asagi itself is not a real rare Koi variety, but the exemplar that we showcase in this video is exceptional and unique. You won’t find a second one that looks like this one, making it quite a rare Koi.

In this video series we will show you 15 of the most Rare, Unique and Beautiful Koi varieties, starring the following types of Koi: Beni KikoKuryu, Kin Ki Utsuri, Ginrin Matsukawabake, Hi Asagi, Hariwake, Doitsu Kin Showa, kabuto Ogon, Karasugoi, (Kindai) Beni Kikokuryu, Ginrin Narumi Asagi, Ginrin Ochiba Shigure, Orenji Ogon, and more!

Beni Kikokuryu: also refered to as Dragon Koi Fish. A metallic Koi with shiny skin. White base colour with black and red markings.

Kin Ki Utsuri: a metallic Ki Utsuri, which is a yellow with black Koi. Kin stands for the metallic shiny that is visible over the scales.

Ginrin Matsukawabake: a scaled variant of the Kumonryu Koi variety. It is a black with white Koi that is very likely to change over time. The ones we show in this video have unique patterns with for a wrap of black around each scale.

Hi Asagi: an entirely red Koi with dark black moon patterns on each scale. The Hi Asagi we show in this video is very rare and it will be very difficult to have a similar Koi.

Hariwake: most Hariwake have no scales, which makes them a Doitsu Hariwake. Hariwake are Koi with a white base and yellow markings on it.

Doitsu Kin Showa: a black Koi with white and red markings on it. Doitsu Koi variety because it does not have any scales. And Kin because it has a metallic shine over each scale. A rare Koi variety.

Kabuto ogon: translated from Japanese, Kabuto means helmet. The colour of this Koi is dark grey to brown and it looks like a glowing skin, because it also is a metallic Koi variety.

Karasugoi: this is an entirely solid black Koi. It is deeper and more intensive black compared to a wild carp that you can find in nature. Not special in pattern, but rare because you do not see them often.

Ginrin Narumi Asagi: The uniqueness and quality of the Ginrin Narumi Asagi we show in this video tells enough. Narumi Asagi have deep dark indigo in the center of each scale, surrounded by paler blue around the edges of the scale. This exemplar also have ginrin visible, the shiny edges of the scales which makes it a very rare Koi.

Ginrin Ochiba Shigure: translated to ‘Autumn leaves on the water’ from Japanese. A Koi with a grey base with brown markings on it. But this one also has a shiny effect on each individual scale visible.

Orenji Ogon: this is an entire orange Koi variety. That itself is not so special, but this variety also has a metallic shine visible over the entire Koi. Making it an unique and beautiful Koi variety.
