This impressive 16-inch Matsuba Koi features a rich orange base highlighted by the distinctive pinecone-style reticulation that defines the Matsuba variety. Each scale carries a darker center, creating the classic netted pattern that gives the fish depth and texture when viewed in the water.
The warm orange coloration is strong and even across the body, while the dark scale centers form a clean, uniform pattern from head to tail. This contrast produces the elegant pinecone appearance Matsuba koi are known for and makes the fish highly visible in the pond.
At 16 inches, #J2277 (S1) already has substantial size and presence, with a strong body structure and smooth skin quality. The combination of size, color intensity, and crisp reticulation makes this Matsuba a standout pond fish that will continue to develop beautifully as it grows.
