Yes, butterfly koi and regular koi can breed, as they are both varieties of the same species, Cyprinus carpio. When they mate, the offspring can inherit traits from both parents, resulting in a mix of physical characteristics. The breeding process is similar to that of other koi varieties, and the resulting fry can be either butterfly or regular koi, depending on the genetic combinations.

Difference between male and female butterfly koi?

A butterfly Koi is simply a Koi with longer and straggly finnage. They are sexed in exactly the same way as all other Koi and/or goldfish. The Koi does not reach sexual maturity until it is about 10 inches long so it can not be sexed until then. Once sexually mature the females tend to have a chubbier appearance than the males and (as with goldfish) the males develop whitish spots (Pimples) on their gill plates and pectoral fins when they come into breeding condition.
