This 13" Metallic Kujaku Butterfly Koi is a high-impact longfin featuring brilliant metallic luster and a beautifully defined matsuba (pinecone) pattern. The rich golden base shines intensely under light, while the dark reticulation across each scale creates depth and texture that gives this koi a premium, eye-catching presence.
The head carries a strong metallic glow, transitioning smoothly into the patterned body where the contrast between gold and dark scaling becomes more pronounced. This balance of brightness and structure is what makes Kujaku so desirable, especially in larger sizes like this.
The butterfly trait elevates the entire presentation, with long, flowing fins that add movement and elegance. The fins are well-formed and proportional, trailing gracefully and enhancing the koi’s visibility in the pond from every angle.
At 13", this koi has reached a size where both pattern and body are well established, while still offering continued growth potential. A standout selection for hobbyists looking for metallic brilliance, refined patterning, and flowing motion in one fish.
Kloubec Koi Farm is a family-owned American koi breeder established in 1981. Located on 80 acres with over 60 outdoor ponds and a 300,000-gallon indoor facility, all koi are raised on-site rather than imported. Each fish undergoes a comprehensive health screening and quarantine process prior to sale, and we have never had a case of Koi Herpes Virus (KHV).
