Import Batch

Doit Showa

As Doitsu koi were originally bred in Germany, “Doitsu” is the Japanese word for “German” or “Germany.” In the early 1900, scaleless koi were selectively bred in Germany from scaleless or partially scaled German carp, sometimes called mirror carp, to serve as an easy food source, and were imported to Japan and other countries, as well. This eliminated the need to have to scale fish before cooking and eating them. Eventually, this unique trait caught on and became desirable in pet koi fish, now known as Doitsu!
