This 9" Kin Matsuba Koi features a bright metallic gold (kin) base paired with a classic matsuba (pinecone-style) reticulation pattern, creating a bold and highly recognizable look.
The metallic sheen gives the koi a reflective, glowing appearance in the water, while the darker centers within each scale form a consistent net pattern across the body. This combination adds both structure and visual depth, making the fish stand out clearly from a distance.
The warm gold tone, combined with the patterned reticulation, gives this koi a rich, ember-like quality—hence the name “Lava.” The color remains strong and uniform, making it a dependable and attractive addition to a variety of pond setups.
At 9 inches, this koi offers solid size and excellent growth potential, making it a great choice for hobbyists looking to add a bright, structured, and easy-to-enjoy metallic koi to their collection.
Kloubec Koi Farm is a family-owned American koi breeder established in 1981. Located on 80 acres with 60 outdoor ponds and a 300,000-gallon indoor facility, we raise our koi on-site and do not import fish for resale. Every koi completes a comprehensive health and quarantine protocol before being offered for sale, and we have never experienced a case of Koi Herpes Virus (KHV).
