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

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.

It took a long time to get the pond back working since last years set of storms...today my Butterfly Koi arrived. This is the third purchase from this company. While the yellow standard koi they have grow super fast...I opted for the lovely butterfly koi and they chose the most amazing set. I ordered 10 and got 12. Great service and very fast. They put a cooling pack in the box and every single fish arrived alive and swimming vigorously. They have already scoped out the deep end and are looking great. For the cost, I got twice the number of fish as I would have locally...and locally they would have been much smaller. Great value...gorgeous koi... Five Stars! I will attach a video so you can see just how healthy they are and the colors.

This is the second order I’ve placed from this seller. The fish arrived quickly, safely, very well-packed and absolutely GORGEOUS colors! The variety was perfect. I’m excited to watch these beauties grow up. They included five extra fish which was much appreciated. They are so healthy and happy that I saw several actually eating fish food within 30 minutes! We are already naming some of the most recognizably patterned-colored koi! Will definitely order again!

Great price and all the fish are healthy and is everything I wanted

I love these new butterfly koi. They came in many colors from golden to calico, to panda, and more. They all lived and are doing well in my pond. Thanks for the great service and excellent fish. 2 Month Update: Can I add a couple stars past the 5? These fish are amazing. I love them so much. They have all grown between 1-2 inches at least. I love how they know me now and come over for food when i go out to the pond. The other thing I love is the variety in them; each is very different and beautiful. I can't thank Toledo Goldfish enough for my new Koi babies!

Ordered 10 butterfly koi.Got 12, all alive and thriving.

Well, we decided to add a few fish to our well-established 23-year-old koi pond. The mature fish are getting old and they haven't had babies in 2 years. I ordered 10 4-5 inch butterfly Koi from Toldeo. The fish arrived and after floating the bag for a few hours we released them. They all seemed pretty healthy. The next morning, 2 new fish were dead. I wasn't too concerned as it's a stressful thing they just went through. It's understandable. The next day our other fish stopped eating and developed an unknown condition in which they are lethargic and list to one side. No obvious infections. Our koi pond has been illness-free for over two decades. We've lost two mature koi so far and others are sick. The fish I lost today I've had for 17 years. It's sad. I've emailed Toledo for assistance with no response. They do not publish a phone number, which I feel is somewhat irresponsible when you deal with live animals. I feel foolish for trusting them with my pond. I think the thing I'm upset with the most is I can't contact them and they probably have the knowledge to save my fish. If they just cared....

Beautiful fish all arrived safe and healthy. I really wanted to update after over a year. My fish (koi and Sarasa comet golds) are thriving in Arizona! It takes months to properly cycle/condition a pond without chemicals. I will never use chemicals. It takes time for the good algae and bacteria to grow and balance a pond. Whether it's above, half in, or inground. It takes time, and it's worth it. Mine took months. My fish are happy in full sun for half the day. Thank you Toledo Goldfish for always sending health fish!
