Requirements

A Koi pond needs to provide clean, well oxygenated water in order to produce a healthy environment for fish to live and grow. The basic requirements are: To be large enough to accommodate the potential size that Koi can grow to ( 24 inches / 60cm plus). A pond of around 8 feet x 6 feet and 4 feet deep (2.5m x 2m x 1.2m) containing approx' 1200 gallons (5500L) would be a sensible minimum for keeping Koi in the UK or other temperate climates.

Diet

Koi fish eat just about anything, from small bugs and insects, to plants and algae at the bottom of the fish pond, to store-bought koi fish food. Koi will even eat people food. They love cereal, lettuce, shrimp, rice, peas, watermelon... pretty much anything we like, koi fish consider food.

Shipping & Returns

Our Koi can now be delivered via Courier. Fish are delivered in an Oxygenated box, costing £25 per box.
For fish up to 6 inches we can fit 6 in a box, but the very large Koi would need a box of their own.

Breeder Information

Yagenji Koi Farm

Yagenji Koi Farm is run by brothers Daisuke and Toshinori Ishihara, after the passing of their father, Mr. Yaiichi Ishihara.

Located on the mountain slopes of the famous Yamakoshi Village, this Koi Farm boasts both mud ponds and climate controlled fish houses for overwintering their Koi.

Both of the Ishihara brothers run the Koi Farm together, which is an unusual case as traditionally the business would be passed to the elder brother (Daisuke). They both have valuable expertise and knowledge and run the farm like a well oiled machine.

Daisuke is a trained chef, and came back to the Koi Farm when business started becoming very busy. He spent time at Momotaro Fish Farm to learn the trade, returning to his father’s side once he had gained experience.

Toshinori (Tokko) stayed with his Father to help run the Koi Farm, leaving at 18 years old so that he could learn new techniques and ideas at a Koi Farm in Hiroshima – Sakai Fish Farm.
