Aka Matsuba koi are a striking, fiery red variant of the Matsuba family. Their scales have a deep black center reticulated over a solid metallic red-orange base. This distinctive reticulated pattern covers the body like pinecones packed closely onto a surface, making the koi even more captivating.
Apart from their strong physique, Aka Matsuba Koi are exceptional growers and thrive in ponds of all sizes, which enhances their appeal. Bright-colored outdoor ponds are ideal for Aka Matsuba because their dark-patterned bodies contrast beautifully with the bright coloration. Compared to lighter-colored koi, their extreme brightness helps them blend with deeper-saturated koi in mixed collections.
Aka Matsuba from Otsuka, Marusei, and Maruhiro are considered to be some of the best fish vendors for koi due to their high color saturation and well-formed reticulation. Aka Matsuba delivers beauty in its bold scales for wide collectors looking to grab attention. Add one to your pond today!
