This stunning 13" Matsuba Butterfly koi combines dramatic metallic bronze coloration with elegant flowing butterfly fins and classic Matsuba reticulation. The dark pinecone-style scale pattern creates rich texture across the body while the metallic sheen produces a glowing bronze-gold effect in natural light.
Its extended butterfly fins add exceptional movement and grace, giving the koi a sleek almost dragon-like appearance as it glides through the water. The contrast between the darker body and lighter fin edging enhances the fish’s refined and powerful visual impact.
The consistent reticulation pattern across the body highlights the traditional Matsuba characteristics while the longfin form adds modern elegance and fluidity. At 13 inches, this koi already commands strong pond presence and will continue maturing into an impressive showcase fish.
Features include:
- Deep metallic bronze Matsuba coloration
- Distinctive pinecone reticulation pattern
- Elegant flowing butterfly fins
- Strong metallic sheen and contrast
- Graceful long-body movement in the pond
A bold and sophisticated butterfly koi ideal for collectors seeking darker metallic tones, dramatic movement, and unique pond presence.
