Japanese Koi – Living Art for Your Pond

Introduce elegance, tradition, and timeless beauty to your pond with Japanese Koi — the most revered ornamental fish in the world. Bred for centuries in Japan, these majestic creatures are prized for their brilliant colors, graceful movements, and symbolic meaning of perseverance, strength, and good fortune.

Our Japanese Koi are hand-selected from reputable breeders for vibrant patterns, strong genetics, and long-term health. Available in renowned varieties such as Kohaku (white with red markings), Sanke (white with red and black), and Showa (black with red and white), each koi is a unique, living masterpiece.

Key Features:

  • Exquisite Coloration: Deep reds, crisp whites, bold blacks, and metallic golds

  • Large and Long-Lived: Can grow 24–36 inches and live 25+ years with proper care

  • Culturally Significant: A cherished symbol in Japanese gardens and tradition

  • Peaceful and Social: Thrive in groups and coexist well with other pond fish

Care Guidelines:

  • Pond Size: Minimum 1,000 gallons for a small group

  • Water Temp: 59–77°F (15–25°C)

  • Diet: High-protein koi pellets, fruits, vegetables, and seasonal supplements

  • Filtration: Strong biological filtration recommended for water quality

Whether you're building a traditional koi pond or enhancing a modern landscape, Japanese Koi elevate any outdoor water feature with sophistication and serenity. Invest in a piece of living art that grows more beautiful with time.
