Selecting Shusui – Koi Fish tutorial [KOI GUIDE]

Shusui are very eye catching Koi fish! And that is exactly why I want to introduce this variety to you.

I’m using three Shusui of breeder Oofuchi to explain you all the basics about the Shusui variety. These shusui are tosai, quite young but for sure it will help to explain you everything about this variety.

Typical for the Shusui is that is has the Matsuba kind of scales on top of their back. And orange lines on the sides with have a symmetrical looking pattern. It are very interesting non-metallic Koi, which most preferable have all their scales placed properly in a row. Without missing any scales or open places. It will look like a zipper on the back of the Koi. Normally you don’t want that orange becomes visible over the zipper scales on the back. What you want to have is that only the sides of the Koi become orange. And there should be a white strip in between the orange on the side and blue scales on the back.

The Shusui is actually the Doitsu, so the scaleless, variety of the Asagi. They however only have scales on their back. And sometimes a few scales on their sides, normally right on the lateral line.

The orange or red pattern lays on their cheeks and gills and the sides of the Koi. It will also be visible in the fins, especially on the pectoral fins and also in the tail. On the head some red can be visible, preferable this is around the sides of the head.
