This breathtaking 13" Matsuba Butterfly koi combines dramatic pinecone-style reticulation with elegant flowing butterfly fins and rich bronze-gold metallic coloration. The strong dark edging within each scale creates the signature Matsuba “pinecone” effect, giving the koi a bold armored appearance with exceptional depth and texture.
Its oversized butterfly fins add graceful movement and elegance while contrasting beautifully against the darker metallic body tones. The reflective bronze and charcoal coloration produces flashes of gold and shadow under sunlight, creating a dynamic high-end presentation in the pond.
The balanced reticulation pattern extends cleanly across the body while the long flowing fins provide continuous motion and visual impact from every angle. At 13 inches, this butterfly koi already commands strong centerpiece presence with excellent future development potential.

- Bold Matsuba pinecone reticulation
