CBKoi.com is created by C & B Aquarium (Pte) Ltd.
(Singapore) to share our CBKois with everyone
around the world at the convenience of your own
home. At the same time we would like to take this
opportunity to let you understand more about us
C & B Aquarium (Pte) Ltd. (Singapore) together with
Beijing Palace Goldfish (China) has been in the
ornamental fish industry for over 30 years... Over
the years of research and development, we've gained
invaluable experience, knowledge and at the same
time built up an inventory of high quality CBKois
for the future. With Japanese expertise and
Singaporean management skills, we have established
the
ability to produce large quantity of high quality
nishikigoi. We strongly emphasis on our koi health
and packaging , ensuring our ever increasing
customer base worldwide guaranteed satisfaction.
Since 1996, we have ventured into the fascinating
world of Nishikigoi breeding. This would be a task
undreamed of without the strict but patient guidance
of our master Mr. Toshiaki Miyajima of Miyajima Koi
Farm (Japan), he was once the chairman of the
Japanese Koi Breeders Association, a well
respectable man for his great commitment and passion
for koi. When he left Japan for our Beijing, along
with him he brought not only his 30 years of
invaluable koi breeding experience, but also his
undaunting spirit and mountains of knowledge about
koi and koi breeding. Miyajima Sensei's love for koi
is undeniable, he's committed to everything he does
and always seeks for improvements. Making full use
of the values and knowledge he instilled into us, we
are always seeking for improvement as we grow.
Our original broodstock from Japan were all
specifically selected with absolute precession by
Miyajima Sensei. Each parent koi of different
varieties has a specific role with ample for
replacements for our long term plan to breed top
quality kois of different varieties. Most of them
were from
Mr. Miyajima's precious collection of top quality
broodstock from prestige linage kept over the years.
Some were acquired from other breeders in Niigata,
where he spent most of his younger years learning
and practicing the art of koi breeding under the
guidance of the late Mr. Ichiro Mano.
At present, 80% of our broodstock producing our
future koi is of our own CBKoi, specifically
selected and kept by Miyajima Sensei over the years.
Our farm spreading over 1.8 million sq meters in
land area is producing an average of 10 to 15
million fry yearly. Currently we have 50 mudponds
sizes
ranging from smallest at 1500m to largest at 8500m
in surface area for stocking and growing of our
CBKoi. Another 20 liner ponds are available for
stocking fishes after harvesting from the mudponds
before shifting to the indoor stocking facility for
quarantine. We monitor for a minimum of 2 weeks
to ensure the health status of our CBKoi before
exporting.
During the winter months, our 3 indoor stocking
facilities would be converted and used as a
greenhouse. Water will be heated to above 20c in the
greenhouse ponds and filtration system all designed
and supervised by Mr. Miyajima. With these
facilities, we are able to export to our customers
in Europe at the beginning of the season. Another
important feature of our greenhouse is enabling us
to grow on our tategois during winter, this way
growth of our top CBKois would not be affected.
Like most koi breeders in Japan, we are solely a
family business adopting the knowledge and
experience of koi breeding from our master Miyajima
which has since been family. It has been an uphill
task convincing the world of the quality of our
CBKoi as the stereotype mentality of " there is no
high quality koi breed outside Japan" which still
runs deep within many. Fortunately for us, with the
help of koi shows conducted worldwide by ZNA (Zen
Nippon Airinkai) and SHINKOKAI (All -Japan
Nishikigoi Promotion Association), we are able to
prove that our CBKoi is comparable to Koi from
Japan by winning many prizes in many countries.
We are members of OATA (Ornamental Aquatic Trade
Association) , OFI (Ornamental Fish International)
and Koi Biosecurity Institute of the UK, ZNA &
SHINKOKAI of Japan and also a key member of China's
AFCCSF (Aquarium Fish Committee of the China Society
of Fisheries). Back in 2002, in the August issue of
Koi Carp magazine from the UK, there was an article
written about us. Since then we've developed and
improved in our facilities and ability to produce
more varieties of high quality CBKois ... Our goal
has always been unchanged and that is to produce
more and better quality Nishikigoi for hobbyist
worldwide to enjoy at their homes.
Kohaku
- It has been said that Koi keeping begins and end
with Kohaku.
Red patterns set against white background create
exquisite
contrast. Points of appreciation include a bright
and evenly
colored beni(red), the crispness of the Kiwa (the
edge of the red
patterns), and the snow like white background.
& subsidiary
Beijing Palace
Goldfish Co. Ltd
- During the early 1900's a new variety of koi was
created by
the additional of black (sumi ) markings to the
basic Kohaku
patterns of red and white. This new variety was
named Taisho
Sanke and is referred to as Sanke or Sanshoku. The
position of
the sumi accentuates the beauty of the overall
pattern.
Showa
- The Showa, developed in the 1930's, features white
and red
markings against a jet black base. The sumi (black)
is the basis
for appreciation of this variety, forming a strong
background
against which the white and red markings interweave
in
interesting patterns. Showa that have comparatively
more white
than black are called Kindai (morden) Showa.
ZNA (Zen Nippon
Airinkai)
Utsurimono
- Utsuri-mono literally translates as "reflections"
or reflecting ones".
This category is made up of three different colour
varieties. The
first and foremost is the Shiro-utsuri. Shiro
meaning white. The
second variety is the Hi-utsuri, Hi meaning fire or
red. The third
and most elusive is the Ki-utsuri, Ki meaning
yellow. All three
colour variations are accentuated by a black (sumi)
base which
emerges from under the white, red or yellow field to
create a
pattern that suggests the "reflection" of color on a
black
background.
Bekko
- There are three types of Bekko, the Aka (red)
Bekko, the Shiro
(white) Bekko, and the Ki (yellow) Bekko. The Bekko
has a simple
stepping stone pattern of sumi (black) running down
it's back set
against a red, white or yellow background.

Shusui
- Created by crossing a Doitsugoi with an Asagi, the
Shusui was one of
the first Doitsu varieties of Nishikigoi. Shusui
have a bold line of navy
scale on the back with a bright orange or red belly
like the Asagi.
Shusui that have red colour up to the dorsal line
are called Hi Shusui
(pronounced hee-shoe-suey).
Asagi
- The Asagi is one of the oldest varieties of
Nishikigoi and has provided
the basis for many subsequent varieties. It is
covered in a net-like
reticulated scale pattern of indigo, navy blue or
pale blue. The light
blue head should be clear and unblemished. The base
of the pectoral
fins, tail fin, stomach and gill plates is a deep
orange or red colour.
Koromo
- The literal meaning of Koromo is "clothed" or
"robed". Koromo were also
developed by inter- breeding of Kohaku and Asagi.
The difference between the
Goshiki and the Koromo is that the koromo has pure
white base with the Asagi-
like scale reticulation showing only in the red
patterned areas. Aigoromo refers
to Koromo with a blue reticulation within the red
scales. Purplish coloured
Koromo are referred to as Budogoromo.
Goshiki
- Goshiki literally means "five colours" referring
to the red, black, white of
the Sanke and the navy and blue of the Asagi from
which the original
Goshiki were developed. Lately, the name Goshiki is
given to any koi that
has a white base overlaid with gray Asagi-like
pattern which in turn is
overlaid with a Kohaku-like pattern. Goshiki Sanke
are Koi that have the
black markings of the Sanke in addition to their
Goshiki coloring.
Hikari-Muji
- Also referred to as "Ogon", the Hikarimuji
category is made up of brightly
colored metallic koi including Yamabuki (yellow),
Purachina (platinium), Orenji
(orange), Nezu (grey) and a burnished gold colored
Mukashi ogon.
By crossbreeding the Hikarimuji with other existing
varieties, breeders have
been able to create a myriad of new varieties .
Included in this category are koi with pinecone-like
pattern know as Matsuba.
Hikari-Utsuri
- Hikariutsuri is a category that covers Showa or
Utsurimono that have
been crossbred with hikarimuji to produce a
patterned koi that has a
metallic sheen. Showa become Kin Showa, Shiro utsuri
become Gin Shiro,
and Hi utsuri or Ki utsuri become Kinki Utsuri. At
the present time, there
are only three varieties in this category.
Hikari-Moyo
- This category encompasses all other metallic
patterned koi that do not fit
into the Hikarimuji or Hikariutsuri category. Kohaku
that have an overall
metallic sheen are called Sakura Ogon. Metallic
Sanke are called Yamato
Nishiki. The metallic yellow and white of the
Hariwake are very popular as
are the various Doitsu (German) varieties such as
Kikusui and Doitsu
Hariwake.Kujaku
- The Kujaku is a metallic or Ogon koi with the
reticulated net-like pattern of
the Asagi on it's back. This is overlaid with either
a gold, yellow, orange or
red Kohaku-type pattern creating a striking effect.
Created by crossing a
Goshiki with a Hikari Muji, it's full name is Kujaku
Ogon, or in English,
"Peacock". The development of high quality Kujaku
has led to their being
judge in a category of their own at recent koi shows
in Japan.
Tancho
- The name "Tancho" was originally bestowed on a
Kohaku that was
completely white with the exception of a round red
"crest" on the center of it's
head. This Tancho Kohaku is well loved by the
Japanese people as it reminds
them of their national flag, a red sun on a white
flag.
There are several other kinds of Tancho including
Tancho Sanke, Tancho
Showa, and even Tancho Goshiki.
Kinginrin
- Kinginrin is the name given to the metallic flake
or "diamond scale" effect
where the scales themselves reflect light like tiny
silver and gold mirrors.
Normally referred to as simply Ginrin, this type of
scale occures in nearly
every variety namely, Ginrin Kohaku, Ginrin Sanke,
Ginrin Showa, Ginrin
Bekko etc.
Doitsu Koi
- Doitsugoi (German carp) were originally imported
from Germany to
Japan in the late 1800's as a food fish. Doitsu have
either no scales at
all and referred to as "leather carp", or they have
a line of large scales
along their lateral and dorsal lines and are
referred to as "Mirror carp".
There is Doitsu version of almost every variety,
Doitsu Kohaku, Doitsu
Sanke, Doitsu Kujaku, Doitsu Hariwake just to name a
few. By crossing
Doitsu goi with Nishikigoi, breeders literally
doubled the number of
variety.
Kumonryu
- The Kumonryu is a Doitsu (Greman) koi that has a
jet black pattern that
emerges like billowing black clouds against a white
background. The back
pattern is variable and unstable, disappearing with
changes in water
temperature, reappearing sometimes as a completely
different pattern.
The name Kumonryu is derived from a legend that
tells of a dragon (Ryu)
transforming into a cloud and racing through the
sky.
The Kumonryu is said to have been developed by
breeding a Shusui with a
Matsukawa bake. There is also the Beni Kumonryu that
has jet black pattern
that emerges against the white and red background.
Kawarigoi
- Formerly referred to as Kawarimono, Kawarigoi are
koi that have been
formally recognized and named but do not fit into
any of the other
categories.
There are many interesting varieties that fall into
this category for eg.,
Chagoi, Ochiba Shigure, Hajiro, Hi-goi, Ki-goi,
Kikokuryu and many more.
