Ochiba<\/a> is a type of light blue that frequently has yellow mixed in. The term in Japanese translates into \u201cleaves which have fallen.\u201d Koi which display this color are truly breathtaking, but due to their rarity are difficult to find.<\/p>\n Asagi<\/a> is probably the most famous and sought after color. Koi which have it will display blue and reddish markings on their belly, which when combined are quite stunning. The scales will usually showcase a net type pattern and is referred to by enthusiasts as being pale blue.<\/p>\n This particular variation can appear in two color patterns. The first of which are black spots that appear within white, and the other which consists of a body which is completely black. Kumonryu<\/a> in Japanese is meant to symbolize transformation.<\/p>\n This particular color is one of the most interesting. The term is a reference to tortoise shells, and koi that have bekko<\/a> coloration may appear yellow, white or red with different types of black markings.<\/p>\n When viewing different koi colors and patterns, many people find Karasugoi to be among the most spectacular. This is because this color consists of an orange colored belly with the remainder of the fish being black in color.<\/p>\nAsagi<\/strong><\/h2>\n
