What Is A Gin Matsuba Koi?

The name “Gin Matsuba” means ‘silver pinecone,’ and this fits this type of koi fish perfectly. Gin Matsuba koi are known for their shiny white color, called Shiro. This bright background makes their dark patterns pop out more. The shiny Shiro gives the fish a silvery appearance. The patterns on their scales look like a pinecone or a net. This blend of colours and textures makes the Matsuba variety very appealing, which is why many koi fans pick it.
