RE: where to buy koi

Tarheels Koi farm is in Walnut Cove, NC 336-591-7720
Blueridge fish hatchery is in Kernersville, NC 336-788-6770
Lotusland Koi Farm is in Monroe, NC 704-242-2872

Tarheels sells mostly longfins and Blueridge sells both. Lotusland is one of the best domestic breeders around, selling both pond grade and show quality. Their annual harvest sale is the last weekend of September and is always a lot of fun. They have fish during the sale from $10 and up.

RE: where to buy koi

i tried blue ridge fish hatchery and they don't sell to the public. i did go to one of there fish shows and i paid alot for the 6 koi i got and i lost 3 of them in the first week due to parisites.

the lotusland farms sounds like they might be good i'm going to try them out.

i saw on the net that carolina fish hatchery has way low prices and they are having a show and sale in greensboro this weekend. have you ever heard of them. i'm really worried about spending a ton of $$ again and loosing them.

i will most definatly be quariteening them for two weeks. the few fish i have left are doing real good and i don't want to risk loosing them. they are just now getting use to me and coming to me when i go down to the pond..

thank you so very much

big fish sale, they have koi and pond fish, bass and such.. i'm most deffintly going. there most expensive fish is 29.00 for a 2 foot koi.. there grade is f1. i think this is good. but there 4-8 inch koi are only 2-7.00 that is awsome.
