Toledo Goldfish Butterfly Fin Koi, Variety of Colors and Patterns - Perfect for Ponds or Aquariums - 3-4 Inches, 5 Count

The media could not be loaded.  Ordered over weekend, received a message to confirm a good shipping date either sunday or monday, I forget. Shipped monday, arrived Tuesday and the fish are in fabulous condition. They look so energetic and healthy. Theyre stressed out with the adjustment to a salted QT at low pH- my water is extremely soft- comes out of tap like RO.I did make some basic requests to the seller- obviously at this price you cant describe the exact fish you want- but I did tell them Id very much like a platinum, that my pond has shubunkin and a black bottom so Id prefer to avoid dark fins that wont show in my pond and avoid busy calico that will look just like the shubunkin. I thought even going to 3 criteria was a lot when buying fish at this price point... but they did a great job accomidating my request. There are at least 3 platinum, there are some calico, but not many and not as busy as a shubunkin and zero black fins. Impossible to ask for better.Im doing a happy dance - and it seems so are the fish in quarantine, so make sure you cover the quarentine container. They are grazing, picking up everything off the bottom. They were prepared properly for shipping, there was ZERO excrement in the bag AND when opened had no fish smell- thats how you know they care about the fish they ship and spend a couple days preparing them for the journey. None of the fish are skinny- these are fat health babies fasted just for this weeks orders.Some, a small #, are questionable as to whether they can be called butterfly. They are all at least 3+ inches.I could not be happier- a lot of the iffs/butts Im posting are to keep people who are impossible to please or have unrealistic expectations away from this excellent shop. Ive been keeping and breeding tropical fish for 40 years, Ive shipped and recieved a lot of fish - these guys know what they are doing and they are doing it right.If anything goes wrong in QT, Ill update. I planned a 4-6 week quarentine- but right now, if nothing looks wonky, theyll be in the pond in 10 days.80 hour update: since theyre in a QT with an uncycled filter Im not feeding- but I am adding huge quantities of hair algae from the pond with a grow light, to assit in cycling and ammonia uptake between daily water changes.They eat all the hair algae every day. No stringy poop, no clamped fins, no flashing. There is nothing that makes me nervous even a little about any fish.There are more than the 20 I bought. maybe 22, maybe 24- Theyre so active its nearly impossible to count. Extras are so that buyers dont complain about expected losses. I happened to get lucky with perfect temperatures and a literate fedex handler who was gentle with the package marked "live fish".Update May 12- All fish in pond. No reason to continue Quarentine.I now get up with the sun so I can have my coffee with their breakfast, best part of my day.

Butterfly koi arrived 2 days after order placed. Only one did not survive but 2 extra fish made up for that. Very nice mix of colors and fish very active. All within size of fish requested. Very reasonably priced. I would order again. Hopefully blue heron stays away and no need to reorder.

Very nice fish, this was my second order from themThe first order I felt the The fish were smaller than stated. The second order was much better. But all in all the quality of the fish is good and the colors are good.

Great purchase experience. The fish were shipped fast and came in incredibly healthy and calm. I cannot recommend Toledo enough for all your koi needs. I cannot wait to save up and buy a few more. Such a great experience and very happy with my decision.

These fishies were due to arrive tomorrow. They were boxed and packaged really securely.Looked very happy, moving around, great size. Was hard to count in their bag.Acclimated them for 45-60 min (prob a bit short as we put them in the pond outside which is pretty cold), but they swam out, settled for a few minutes then Started to explore. An hour later and they seem very content.Very happy with them so far, now it’s up to nature and us to make sure they survive the elements

Fish are growing fast ! Very hearty and healthy. Worth the money I only lost 5 through attrition (jumping on lily pads).

When my fish came in they were just as described. The colors were varied, they were all about the same size, and they were healthy. They are a great addition to my koi pond.

Buying 'live' things on the internet is always stressful. I went ahead and purchased 10 of their 3-4" butterfly koi and was so amazed by the interaction with the seller. I knew at every step of the process what was happening. I fish arrived in perfect condition, packed carefully in a super secure box and the process of acclimating them to my koi pond was easy. I'm happy to say all the babies are swimming around with my other koi and are a beautiful addition to my pond. Very grateful to have done business with pros.
