Matsuba

Matsuba are solid, metallic-colored koi with a black netting or “pine cone” pattern on the body.  Matsuba can display many different body colors, but the black pinecone pattern remains consistent among all Matsuba.  Different types of Matsuba include Aka Matsuba (red body with black pine cone pattern), Gin Matsuba (white body with black pattern), Ki Matsuba (yellow body with black pattern) and Orenji Matsuba (orange body with black pattern).
