This 8" Gin Matsuba Butterfly Koi combines the classic pinecone (matsuba) scale pattern with a bright metallic sheen and elegant long flowing fins. The result is a visually striking koi that offers both strong structure and graceful movement in the water.
The matsuba reticulation is clearly visible along the body, creating a consistent netting effect that contrasts beautifully against the metallic base. The gin (silver-toned) sheen enhances the reflective quality of the fish, making it highly visible and eye-catching from every angle.
The butterfly (longfin) trait adds an extra level of elegance, with extended fins that trail smoothly behind the fish as it swims. This combination of pattern, shine, and motion makes it a standout addition to any pond.
At 8 inches, this koi is at a great stage for continued growth, with strong potential for further refinement in both pattern clarity and fin extension as it matures.

Based on 80 acres with more than 60 outdoor ponds and a 300,000-gallon indoor facility, every koi is raised on-site—we never import fish for resale. All koi complete a strict health screening and quarantine process before sale, and we have never had a case of Koi Herpes Virus (KHV).
