Doitsu Sakura Ogon
Description: A Doitsu Sakura Ogon is a metallic variety of Kohaku. It was created by breeding a regular Kohaku and a Platinum Ogon. This particular fish is a Doitsu (Scaleless) variety. A nice alternative to regular Kohaku. Israeli Koi over the size of 4-5″ are vaccinated against KHV, which offers peace of mind, and allows them to be added to ponds that have been subject to KHV historically.
Maximum Size: Upto 36″ but on average 12-16″ when mature.
Environment: As with all of the Koi types, the best possible water conditions are required. A well filtered pond with specific koi filtration is desired. Aeration though the addition of air pumps is also highly recommended.
Water Conditions: Koi require a pH range of 7-8.5, Ammonia and Nitrite to be virtually 0ppm and dissolved oxygen saturation to remain above 6ppm. They are tolerable to lower oxygen saturation values than a lot of fish, although this is not recommended.
As with any pet, please fully research for yourself to ensure that you can accommodate a fish of this type in your home.
