select 10 Pack of 3-4 inch Live Butterfly koi

I ordered these koi based on other reviews of good color and variety and am very pleased. The shipping was exactly as stated in the listing and the koi arrived in an insulated box with an ice pack to combat July heat. There was an extra fish included giving us 11 total and all arrived alive and active. We don't have a separate area to acclimate new fish so they went right into the pond with our older fish. It has been a week since they they arrived and we have not lost even one and my other fish have not had any issues showing these are healthy additions. We had hoped for some yellows and were very excited to see two in the group. These are as large as what local pet stores sell for $12 each but much prettier. We are very happy with our purchase and would buy again from this seller - in fact, we are considering expanding our pond so we could add more! Update: July 18, 2020 I killed my first koi - totally wasn't prepared for a bacterial contamination after the hurricane that came through. We were terribly upset to lose them, the fish were so beautiful! Anyway, spring came this year and we bought more from this seller with the same great experience and now with much more wisdom. The koi are doing fantastic and we got another great mix of color. We lost one due to a predator we think (snake maybe) but the rest are growing fast and super healthy. They wait like dogs under the lily pads begging us for a treat every time we walk out to the pond and put on quite a show for guests. I tell everyone this is where they need to go for koi, I think they treat them for any issues before shipping as I have never seen such healthy fish without any need to treat. This years fish are now 3 months old (to us) and longer than my hand now. They are the larger fish in the video which is this years group.

First up these fish are being sent through the mail and no matter where they come from that is going to stress them and increase the likelihood of mortality, it's the same at your local fish store when they get deliveries so if you don't know how to care for and help fish recover then don't order fish online because you will probably just kill them. The fish were sent overnight fedex, the seller was awesome and on top of things but fedex dropped the ball hard and my overnight delivery turned into a 2 day delivery so when I got them they were all in rough shape and I had to be very careful and nurse them back to health but all 10 survived. I read some reviews about people not getting what they paid for so I was skeptical and I messaged the seller before I purchased to confirm that these are indeed Butterfly Koi and that is exactly what I got, they were all exactly as described two to three inches long and grade A. If you don't know what grade A means to put it simply it means these are not high quality koi, they may have some scale damage, they may have some fin damage or various other imperfections so when you get them and see that don't cry about it because that is what you are ordering here. Also a lot of people complaining about the size are only measuring from the head to the end of the body, when you buy fish by size you measure from head to the tip of the tail so yes, the description is accurate. It's been nearly a month since I got my koi and they are all still alive healthy and beautifully colored I 100% recommend these butterfly koi, this is the best price for quantity I have found anywhere be it online or local fish store.

It’s been a month added them to pond, not seen them since. Are they all dead?

UPDATE 10/10 - All fish survived through summer. They are growing fast and getting ready for Winter now. If your thinking about buying Koi, after many months of having my Koi from this supplier - I can fully recommend them. They are indeed healthy and colorful Koi - and I'm glad I purchased 10 together. They were the first fish in my pond and definitely keep each other company. Big Thumbs up! >>>>> Could not be happier. I was super apprehensive and worried I would not get a good color variety so it took me a little while to go for it and buy them. They shipped them out Monday and I got them Tuesday morning. Very healthy, active fish and my variety was pretty much identical to the photo! I have yellows, a white with peach (nice!) orange, a peach, black and whites. Could not be happier. No instructions sent with fish - but I had researched a lot before hand. Treated them just like aquarium fish - acclimated to pond for about 20-30 mins for temperature, after that I opened their bag and slowly introduced pond water so they wouldn’t be shocked. Don’t feed for 24 hours. They all happily swam out and are adjusting as well as can be expected. They were all over the pond by end of first day and love it right under eh waterfall. Even jumping into it (playfully) Would totally buy again - thank you for the awesome colors! TIP: At first, i was trying floating koi food. They wont come to the top of the pond - so they wouldn't eat it, so I went and got large flakes and that has worked for me to get them to eat. Eventually the flakes sink, and the fish grab them.

So the fish were great! The the thickness of the packaging was as expected. Padding was in place keeping fish safe and warm. What makes the value worth the money is the variety. Each fish is beautiful and different from the next. All the fish seemed healthy. Sadly I lost one fish just a few hours after getting them. Of course it was the all white one, that happened to be my favorite. Other than that I am super happy with the fish, and would definitely suggest purchasing from here.

You can buy with confidence from this company. One of my ten died soon after I got him ( I suspect it was stress from the shipping). They very quickly ( the next day) gave me credit for him. All of them showed no signs of disease. There was an excellent variety of colors, no two were the same color. Also they had interesting patterns on each fish. I waited a few weeks to write this review ( so I could be certain they all were doing well). I would without hesitation but from them again.

The butterfly noise are beautiful. But they were 2-3 inch instead of 3-4 inch that are ordered. It came with bag of thick liquid with no instruction. I don't know what it's for. I didn't order this.

This is my first review I've written...ever. I was that impressed. I took a chance buying these butterfly koi, because of the differing reviews. I live in upstate NY and the fish store is in Florida so I had my doubts. The box arrived and was sitting in the sun when I was notified. It was very warm and I thought my fish were cooked. I was delighted to discover every one of them was alive, and the colors were exactly what was shown in the advertisement. Their fins and bodies were healthy and they started eating as soon a I acclimated them to the pond. They've been 2 days in the pond and so far so good. I highly endorse this company. Deb Z Update... they are still healthy and growing 2 weeks later! Update December12th, 2023. I brought them indoors for the winter as my pond isn't deep enough for our climate! (Next year's project) and put them in a 150 gallon pond. They are still beautiful and growing.. smart too. I couldn't be happier with them!
