A Koi Mix refers to a group of koi fish that includes a variety of colors, patterns, and types, usually ungraded or not selected for specific show standards.
It's a mix of different koi varieties, such as:
Kohaku white body with red markings
Sanke (Taisho Sanke) white with red and black
Showa black with red and white
Bekko, Ogon, Utsuri, and others
Plus, some may be crosses or unique patterns that don't fall into strict categories
These are young koi, also called juveniles
Around 34 inches in length
At this stage, colors and patterns may still develop and change slightly
They are usually sold at this size because they're hardy enough to transport and cheaper than adult koi
