This 10" Gin Matsuba Butterfly Koi features a bright metallic silver (gin) body highlighted by the signature pinecone-style reticulation that defines the Matsuba variety. Each scale shows darker edging, creating a clean, net-like pattern that adds depth and structure across the fish.
The strong metallic sheen enhances the silver coloration, giving this koi a reflective, almost glowing appearance in the water. The contrast between the luminous base and darker scale centers provides crisp definition and visual texture from head to tail.
The butterfly (longfin) trait adds elegance and motion, with long, flowing fins that trail smoothly through the water. The soft, translucent fins complement the structured body pattern, creating a balance between precision and fluidity.
At 10 inches, this koi offers excellent size and presence, making it a standout addition for hobbyists looking to combine metallic brilliance with graceful movement and classic patterning.
Kloubec Koi Farm is a family-owned American koi breeder established in 1981. Located on 80 acres with 60 outdoor ponds and a 300,000-gallon indoor facility, we raise our koi on-site and do not import fish for resale. Every koi completes a comprehensive health and quarantine protocol before being offered for sale, and we have never experienced a case of Koi Herpes Virus (KHV).
