Benigoi (ben-ee-goy) refers to a non-metallic Koi with solid red or orange coloring, admired for its bold and vivid hue. These koi are prized for their smooth, rich pigmentation, free from any metallic or shiny scales. The Benigoi’s striking appearance and strong, vibrant color make it a standout in any pond or collection. It is believed that the Benigoi’s lineage can be traced back to the Kohaku, one of the most popular and revered Koi varieties. While Kohaku are known for their white bodies and red markings, the Benigoi represents a simplified and refined version, showcasing a pure, consistent red or orange tone. This koi variety is often appreciated for its elegance and uniqueness, and it continues to be highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts around the world.
Ginrin koi are known for their sparkling scales, which have a reflective, metallic sheen resembling glitter. These unique scales, called “ginrin,” give the fish a distinct and eye-catching appearance, especially when they catch the light. The term “ginrin” translates to “silvery scale,” reflecting the shiny quality of these scales.
