Growing Info
Growing is available with this piece until the end of Sept 2025. A life guarantee is given with the Koi and in the event of death, major quality loss or deformity, a full credit and or replacement will be provided. Growth is not guaranteed but the Koi will go into our large, heated tunnels and fed on Saki until September.

This is more of your of the pattern type you'd expect to see with Kumonryu. You can also see the very prominent Gin Rin Aragoke scale arrangement which as the Koi gains size and mass, becomes a really unique and stunning feature. You can expect sumi development moving forward as the Sumi style is very reliable with this variety. If you opt for growing however I would not be surprised if you get some Sumi regression but this will come back so don't panic. Beautiful body line and structure so overall I have high hopes for this piece. Dubbed 'Black Dragon' these have generated a lot of interest. Someone described them as the poor mans Zeus and that is a total misrepresentation. Takatatsu Koi farm is not the biggest facility but there is a decided innovation from the breeder to create unique and striking Koi. The name seems to generate some contention but as I have said many times, just look at the fish, forget the names and the marketing jazz. For Doitsugoi these do grow very well and the depth of sumi and unique scale arrangement make them very appealing, particularly if you have a window pond

Bidding Help

What is Automatic bidding?

Automatic bidding is the simplest method to participate in an auction-style listing. Just input the maximum amount you're prepared to spend on an item, and we'll handle the rest for you

How to set up automatic bidding

When you’re prepared to place a bid on an auction listing, input the highest amount you’re willing to pay for the item and click on Submit Bid. We will then bid in defined increments for you—enough to maintain your lead, but only up to your specified limit.

If someone outbids you, we’ll notify you, and you can choose whether to raise your maximum bid.

Remember that when determining your maximum bid, you should also consider the cost of shipping if applicable.

Why you've been outbid immediately

If you find yourself outbid right after placing a bid, it's probably because another bidder is utilising automatic bidding and has set a maximum limit that exceeds yours. To become the highest bidder, you'll need to raise your maximum limit.
