Cyprinus rubrofuscus
Origin: Captive bred
This jumbo-grade Yamabuki Ogon displays a fully developed golden-yellow metallic body on a large, well-proportioned frame that commands immediate attention in any garden pond. These impressive specimens are a staple at Belgian and Dutch koi shows and provide a stunning focal point in larger feature ponds. The metallic scale quality and depth of colour in jumbo specimens is unmatched by smaller fish, making this the premium showcase version of this classic variety.
Requires a minimum 5,000 L pond appropriate for a large, growing koi. Maintain excellent filtration with combined mechanical and biological filtration stages. Temperature 5–25°C; fully cold-hardy. Feed premium koi pellets calibrated to water temperature. Ensure adequate pond depth (1.5 m+) for thermal stability and predator avoidance. Water quality should be routinely tested for ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate. Health monitoring by a koi veterinarian is recommended annually.
