21cm Japanese Imported Ki Matsuba – Marusei Koi Farm

Brighten your pond with the vibrant beauty of this stunning 21cm Japanese Imported Ki Matsuba from the renowned Marusei Koi Farm. The Ki Matsuba is a distinctive Japanese koi variety, admired for its brilliant yellow-gold body enhanced by the signature matsuba, or pinecone, reticulated scale pattern. The dark centres of each scale create an elegant net-like effect across the body, giving this koi exceptional texture, depth, and visual appeal.

At 21cm, this Ki Matsuba displays excellent body conformation, premium skin quality, and strong metallic coloration. Carefully bred by Marusei Koi Farm, a respected Japanese breeder renowned for producing high-quality Nishikigoi, this koi has been selected for its health, balanced development, and excellent long-term growth potential.

Ki Matsuba are highly prized for combining the brilliant metallic shine of an Ogon with the intricate beauty of the Matsuba scale pattern. Their radiant golden-yellow colour creates a striking presence in any pond, while the distinctive reticulation adds sophistication and character. This variety pairs beautifully with traditional Gosanke, Shusui, and other metallic koi, adding brightness and contrast to any collection.

As this koi continues to mature, its vibrant yellow-gold coloration is expected to deepen while the matsuba pattern becomes even more refined and pronounced. With proper water quality, nutrition, and care, this premium Japanese Ki Matsuba will continue to develop into a stunning feature koi, bringing elegance, colour, and lasting beauty to your pond.
