Gin Matsuba Koi Fish variety | KOI GUIDE

The Gin Matsuba Koi Fish variety. At first glimpse you might think this is just a white Koi. It is more than that if you ask me. It has a nice pinecone pattern on its back and you can also see that there is shine and luster visible which covers the entire body. That is the metallic part of this Koi.
In this video I will discuss the Koi Variety Gin Matsuba with you. We will discuss the pincone pattern. The black markings that are visible on each scale, which gives a nice reticulation. Furthermore the head area and which aspects you look for on the head. The fins, tameness and other Matsuba varieties that do exist.

I like them as well 😉. Quite a nice variety. So simple, but elegant!

[@stevenlane2641]

Just watched this excellent video again, for the 4th time, I’m finally going to get one this week. Stay safe and well 👍🏻

[@Aboutkoi]

That's great to hear Steven. Hopefully you will be able to find a beautiful Gin Matsuba

[@tete8206]

Gorgeus Koi. Tancho Kohaku is my favorite Koi.

[@Aboutkoi]

I like the Gin Matsuba as well. Simple but elegant! Maybe you should watch this video where I explain a lot of different varieties in short clips: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q4PGmpV8p8yledU

[@Microplus461]

Ik bred a gemalen soragoi (with one Brown Fin) with a Doitsu Tancho Sanke. Outcome whas matsuba, soragoi, Gin-Rin soragoi, Gin-Rin Matsuba, Tancho Sanke, Sanke and soragoi with Brown.

[@Aboutkoi]

That's cool! Do you still have them & will you keep them to grow larger?

[@progressivepondkeeping]

Beautiful, thanks for the information 👌👍

[@Aboutkoi]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed this video 👍

[@michaela-be4le]

Such beautiful specimens :)

[@Aboutkoi]

I like them as well, simplistic and elegant!

[@michellegibson3899]

I bought one today I'm so excited for its arrival.

[@Aboutkoi]

Very nice! What breeder?

[@richardwaldhouse8067]

Awesome 👌 wish you would have shown one with the yellow 💛 base!

[@Aboutkoi]

Sorry! I didn't have one that I could use. Hopefully later 👍

[@ultimatefishkeeping]

Hello Sir. I hope you are well. I do like the Gin Matsuba Verity. I like to think of it as the perfect Koi, simply due to one factor that I love. The scales basically stop at the shoulder area and it is like a perfect curve. It is very symmetrical. Of course I also like it more when the head is more white. Thank you very much for sharing this, I really appreciate it very much. Sorry I am late, I have been preoccupied helping a fellow FishTuber fix up his channel. Sorry. #37th #Like is now up! Stay safe and take care Sir.

[@Aboutkoi]

That is indeed true, very nice symmetrical scalation is visible! Do you have GIn Matsuba in your own pond? Thanks for your comment and stay safe! See you in the new video ;)

[@ultimatefishkeeping]

@@Aboutkoi It is always a pleasure to Watch, comment and give you my support Sir. Unfortunately I do not have any Him Matsuba. At the moment I still only have the Two Goshiki I told you about, however I am trying to save money so I can buy another Two Koi. Definitely, see you in the next video. Stay safe and have a nice day Sir.

[@Aboutkoi]

@@ultimatefishkeeping Very nice! Let me know when you have your new Koi 👍

[@ultimatefishkeeping]

@@Aboutkoi I will do! Thank you! 👍😊

[@legendaryplumber4261]

I have a Gin Matsuba but it isn't as white as yours and have a hi patern, is still a gin matsuba??

[@Aboutkoi]

Yes it still should be a gin matsuba if it only has a few hi (red) scales. It might also be that you own a Kujaku, do you know that variety?

[@legendaryplumber4261]

@@Aboutkoi yeaah I have a 13 inch Male Kujaku, but I noticed once again which I think is a gin matsuba that I mentioned has some shiro spots ☹, I guess is not even decent quality (I have a mini koi farm btw, I own close to 3,500 Kois

[@AsepTravels]

The darker pine cone pattern seems to only come to a little bit less than the halfway point for some and some seem to have the pine cone pattern that goes further towards the belly. Does the darker pine cone pattern ever extend further down or will it remain the same? Idk if my question makes sense😂

[@Aboutkoi]

Yes it makes sense! it will surely develop itself a little bit more. But overall, you will see on all Koi that the more down towards the belly, the less visible the pattern will be.

[@legendaryplumber4261]

Please do a Shusui guide, I'm dying for it

[@Aboutkoi]

For sure! On the list now 👍

[@legendaryplumber4261]

@@Aboutkoi yayy 🙌

[@brant22156]

Is it preferred that the head is clear in any color of matsuba?

[@Aboutkoi]

Yes, indeed! No grey of black should be visible at a young age

[@timmontgomery8304]

Bought one as well but as a 3inch one. Bit shy compared to my harawaki though not seen it much

[@Aboutkoi]

It will probably get better over time. These tend to be more gready while rating and will come to you easier. Well at least on average. Good Luck with it!

[@doonascale1178]

how can i buy this koi?

[@Microplus461]

Verry Nice, i learned a lot. Ik have matsuba tosai. The White one, the White with Gin-Rin and the yellow. Yellow is stil light but is improving. Hoe do u call a White matsuba with Gin-Rin. A Gin-Rin Matsuba?

[@Aboutkoi]

Very nice! A white Matsuba with ginrin is called a 'ginrin matsuba' or a 'ginrin gin matsuba' indeed. That's a cool variety for sure!

[@ayk1910]

Hi, I have been watching your video for my guide quite a while. thank you for detail explanation. I am considering to buy Matsuba koi, is it better to buy Gin matsuba or Ki Matsuba koi? Thank you

[@Aboutkoi]

Glad I could help! That's a difficult question. It depends on what you prefer. Gin matsuba is more white looking. Ki Matsuba is yellow. It fully depends on what you like most

[@gevkhalulyan3583]

That AKA MATSUBA.....broke my neck ....i turned around so fast when it came up ....almost broke my neck ... are they usually that red from Marushu Koi Farm ...i googled some and very nice but they were orange. a but this one is like a painting ....

[@Aboutkoi]

Oh no! Luckily it was just 'almost' a broken neck 😉. Yes he does have more of these nicely deep red painted Matsuba's! Nice breeder to get this variety from

[@Microplus461]

Female Soragoi i mean
