Platinum Ogon Koi (3")

Scientific Name: Cyprinus carpio

The Platinum Ogon Koi is a striking ornamental pond fish known for its clean, solid white coloration and brilliant metallic sheen. Unlike patterned koi varieties, Platinum Ogon are prized for their uniform appearance, allowing their bright reflective scales and elegant body shape to stand out in the pond.

At approximately 3 inches when sold, these are juvenile koi with substantial growth ahead of them. Platinum Ogon are active, social pond fish that can become highly interactive with their keepers and may learn to approach during feeding. Although small when purchased, koi grow into very large, long-lived fish and require a properly sized outdoor pond with excellent filtration for long-term care.

Recommended Setup: A mature outdoor pond with strong biological and mechanical filtration, excellent oxygenation, adequate depth, and plenty of open swimming space. Koi produce substantial waste as they mature, making excellent water quality and regular maintenance essential. Feed a quality koi pellet appropriate for the season and water temperature, supplemented with suitable vegetable-based foods and occasional treats. Plants should be securely anchored because koi may dig around and uproot softer vegetation.

Please Note: Platinum Ogon Koi naturally vary in size, body shape, metallic sheen, coloration, sex, and overall appearance. Juvenile coloration and body characteristics may continue developing as the fish matures. Sex is not guaranteed. The fish you receive may not look exactly like the individual pictured.
