About

The Magoi is the ancestral wild-type koi, displaying a deep charcoal to black body with metallic scales that can develop a subtle bronze iridescence with age. An exceptionally fast-growing and robust koi that forms an impressive, dramatic backdrop in mixed pond displays. Revered in Japanese koi culture as the origin of all koi varieties.

Care Guide

House in a pond of at least 2000 L with good filtration. Tolerates a wide temperature range including near-freezing winters. Feed high-quality koi pellets and supplement with natural pond foraging. Compatible with other koi and large pond fish. Fast grower that benefits from spacious ponds.
