Local Specialty Koi and Goldfish

Spring 2024 (4/11/24)

It may seem like Spring has arrived, but with night time temperatures still in the 30s, it is regrettably not yet time for me to stock new koi or goldfish. The tanks are cycling though, and I expect to have koi and goldfish available in early May.

Additionally, I’ve already received a lot of interest in rehoming fish just in the last few weeks, so our stock of adoptees should be pretty solid by the time I open in May. I’m so pleased that this part of the project is getting this much interest. Thank you to everyone, both donators and adopters 🙂

The rest of the info below is from last season, and will be updated with new prices/products once I receive new order forms from vendors. If I delete it I have to rewrite everything. Ignore it until May!

Individual Koi

As a small business without a lot of space to work with, I only stock premium grade koi. You won’t find better color and pattern quality anywhere else in the Denver Metro. No upcharge on butterfly koi!

4-5″ Koi: 25$ 20$ but you have to promise me they’ll spend winter indoors
6″ Koi: 50$ Out of stock
8″ Koi: 90$ 72$
10″ Koi: 120$ 96$
12″ Koi: 160$ 128$ Out of Stock
14″+ Koi: Out of stock. Priced individually, 200$ to 1000$+, depends on the fish!

Individual Goldfish

I’m still carrying pond variety goldfish, same as last year. Available now!

6-8″ Shubunkin Goldfish 25$ 20$
6-8″ Sarasa Comet Goldfish 25$ 20$
4-5″ Shubunkins 10$ 8$

New: Home-brew Peach Goldfish! I raised a surprise goldfish spawn last summer. They’re shubunkin/sarasa crosses, but came out pure white or a really pretty light orange/pink color, like a peach, and have very long fins. They’re cute as heck, and super easy to see against a dark pond background! You’ll find the larger ones mixed into the 6-8″ and 3-4″ goldfish tanks.

Koi Pond Pack Delivery

These are wholesale rate bulk orders that I deliver to your house and install in your pond. These are big boxes, good for large ponds or stocking (well cycled!) empty ponds. Following prices include shipping and delivery. We usually can’t pick the color types unless I find a special deal at a particular wholesaler but the trade-off is they’re pretty cheap, and in my experience they’re plenty cool looking. If I ever do find fun special deals I’ll make sure to list them here! Give me a call/email for more info!

Plants!:

Assorted Winter Hardy Marginal Plants 4″ Pot: 12$
Floating Plants (Hyacinth, Water Lettuce, Frogbit etc.): 6$
Water Lilies: TBD. These are proving quite difficult to get ahold of this year.

Food!:

Premium Koi Food: 8$/lb

Services:

House Calls – 250$ (Mondays Only)
(+50$ if you’re more than an hour drive)

Rather than increase House Call pricing this year, I’m restricting House Calls (and adoption pick up) to Mondays, and the shop will be closed on Monday. Scheduling house calls during open hours and missing customers at the shop was a terrible idea.

If you’re new to ponds, just bought a house with a pond, or your fish are sick or dying and you don’t know what to do, this may be for you! Includes a lesson on pond-keeping basics if necessary, and sick/injured fish diagnosis. From there we can put together a treatment plan for you to do at home, or I can take your fish and treat it in one of my quarantine tanks, detailed below. If you’re a ways out, the extra 50$ really helps me stay calm while I’m stuck in traffic on the way home 🙂

Fish Boarding – 15$/tank/day

Inspired by a recent very windy day that caused some power outages. If your fish are fine, but can’t stay in their home for a short (few weeks or less) amount of time, I might have space for them. Space is limited, particularly in the Summer, but call or email if you’re in need!

Noninvasive Medical Care – 20$/day

I’m not a licensed veterinarian, so I can’t do surgery on your fish. Luckily, most medical problems fish face don’t require surgery. If you don’t have a quarantine tank and don’t want to make one, I will take care of your fish in one of my quarantine tanks. They are disinfected and completely dried between uses and will not transfer pathogens from previous patients. Common ailments for this service include fin rot, ulcers, swim bladder infections, dropsy (kidney infections), and constipation. Recovery from these ailments typically takes 2 to 6 weeks but can take longer. I cannot 100% promise your fish will live, as is the case with all medical care services. Space is limited so please inquire by phone or email. Do not just show up with a fish 🙂
