Your fish will be sent by our trusted overnight Courier, who have provided us with an outstanding service for more than 10 years. The fish will be double bagged, with pure oxygen, and boxed. We deliberately set low figures as to the maximum numbers of fish in a bag to ensure the minimum possible stress on the fish. All orders packed with enough oxygen to travel for a minimum of 48 hours. Your fish will travel overnight, and be with you usually within 24 hours of packing.

Our koi fry are usually available from May - July. We do sell out quick so join our waiting list early to avoid missing out.

Our koi fry are usually in high demand so we set up a waiting list to make sure you don't miss out. Once the first batch of fry is available for sale we will start going through the waiting list and send details of the varieties available and how to order. Payments can be made by card over the phone or through paypal. If we have spare fry after contacting everyone on the waiting list then we will put them on general sale on our boxes of koi page. Join the waiting list here

The varieties that we breed change slightly every year but they will be a selection of the koi on our varieties page here. We only breed one or two varieties at any one time, so if you want a large mix of varieties, you may have to take them in separate batches throughout our breeding season. Please bear in mind if you are too specific with the varieties you require, you may miss out on fry altogether if that variety does not become available. This may be because we have chosen not to spawn them, that we have none spare (we need to stock our farm first!), or that egg/fry quality was too poor.

The varieties you will receive depends on the batch of fry available at the time. We usually do 3 rounds of spawnings and aim to breed 4-6 varieties in each batch. The varieties that are then available for sale as fry will depend on numbers produced and quality of the fry. When the first batch of fry are available for sale we will start going through the waiting list and send details of the varieties in the batch and how to place an order.

Our koi are sorted into high grade koi, standard grade koi and C grade koi. We have a strict grading policy and our high grade fish represent the best 5-10% of all our fish. Our standard grade koi are our most popular range of Koi, and a great way to gain a wide range of varieties for a very competitive price. C grade koi are often referred to as pond fillers, these are the plainer fish from our breedings. We still aim to provide the best mix of colours that we can, but these fish are strictly our selection only. Available only as a box, not individually See here for more information of koi grading and availability.

Our shop is mostly stocked with koi but we do also sell some small goldfish, shubunkins, tench, orfe and ghost carp. Availability of these vary throughout the year so it is advisable to contact us before visiting if you are after these fish.

Our retail shop mostly contains koi carp but we also stock a range of koi foods and sell a few basic pond treatments. We do not however sell pond supplies in store.

All of our koi are bred on site, we do not bring any koi onto the farm from outside sources. See here for more information about our farm.

All the koi we sell are bred here on the farm, which has been bio secure for 15years plus, so in effect have been quarantined since the day we hatched them. We are checked twice a year and have been for the last 15 years by defra (government body) for any serious notifiable diseases which has come clear every time and all koi once moved into the sales shop are checked regularly for any parasites. This process means the koi we sell are some of the most healthy and robust koi available in the UK but as with any live stock caution should be used when introducing koi from one source to koi from another source and the use of your own quarantine tank/pond is advisable if you have the set up.
