Koi Varieties - Waterford Gardens 74 E. Allendale Rd. Saddle River NJ 07458

Also known as Taisho Sanke, or often simply abbreviated to Sanke, the taisho sanshoku is genetically a white koi with red and black markings.

It is named for the time in which it was developed, the Taisho period in Japanese history. The body appears primarily white, and the colors that sit on the white should be in a spotted formation rather than banded, and there should be no black on the face.
