Overview:
The Asagi Butterfly Grade A Koi is a classic ornamental koi featuring a delicate blue-gray body with a reticulated (net-like) scale pattern and vibrant red or orange accents on the belly and fins. Its long, flowing butterfly fins and graceful swimming make it an elegant focal point in any premium pond.
