This 8" Kin Matsuba Butterfly koi features a brilliant metallic gold (kin) base accented by a classic matsuba (pinecone) reticulation pattern. The combination creates depth and texture, with each scale outlined to produce a striking, netted appearance across the body.
The metallic sheen is bright and reflective, giving this koi strong visibility in the pond, while the darker reticulation adds structure and contrast without overwhelming the clean golden base. This balance makes it both eye-catching and refined.
The butterfly (longfin) trait enhances the presentation with extended, flowing fins that add elegance and motion. Even at 8 inches, the fins show good length and shape, contributing to the koi’s overall visual appeal.
At this size, the pattern is well-defined and the color is already strong, with room for continued development as the fish grows.
