This 8-inch Kin Matsuba Butterfly koi offers a brilliant combination of metallic gold and classic pinecone patterning, enhanced by elegant longfin movement. Featuring a luminous golden (kin) base with darker reticulation centered in each scale, this koi delivers the signature “matsuba” look—clean, structured, and highly eye-catching.
The metallic sheen across the body amplifies the contrast of the scale pattern, giving this fish a glowing, textured appearance in the water. As it matures, the matsuba pattern is expected to sharpen and become even more defined.
The butterfly (longfin) traits elevate this koi’s presence:
- Flowing, extended fins that create graceful, fluid motion
- Bright golden coloration with strong reflective quality
- Distinct pinecone (matsuba) scale pattern for added depth
- Clean head with a smooth transition into the patterned body
At 8 inches, this koi is priced to move and ideal for hobbyists looking to add a high-impact metallic fish with excellent growth potential. As it develops, both size and pattern clarity will continue to improve.
A strong choice for adding brightness, texture, and movement to any pond.
