Breeders Specializing in Reverse Aka Matsuba Koi Fish:

Marusei 

Reverse Aka Matsuba Koi are a rare and distinctive variation of the classic Aka Matsuba. “Aka Matsuba” means “red pine cone,” named for its fiery red body and black reticulated scale pattern. What makes the Reverse Aka Matsuba special is its unusual scale presentation, where the typical dark center seen in traditional Matsuba scales is altered, giving the koi a reversed or redistributed reticulation pattern. The result is a red koi with a visually unique and captivating texture across its body.

At Fitz’s Fish Ponds, we seek out Reverse Aka Matsuba koi from Marusei for their rich red tone, strong body conformation, and distinctive scale contrast that sets them apart. These koi are perfect for hobbyists after something classic yet uncommon, a unique take on a traditional variety that grabs attention right away. Explore our collection and bring home something truly one-of-a-kind today.
