Toledo Goldfish Butterfly Fin Koi, Variety of Colors and Patterns - Perfect for Ponds or Aquariums - 3-4 Inches, 20 Count

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!

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.

All came healthy, small and lived. It's been about a year and these guys are fast growing! Definitely great pond koi!! I would definitely recommend !

What a variety of pretty Koi. They seem healthy and took to my pond very fast. I would highly recommend. Thank you!

The media could not be loaded. Thanks to the previous reviews, I've decided to take the chance. My wife was ecstatic when I showed her the new koi for our pond & we received an extra fish, Yay! If you're thinking about it, "Just Do it!" I haven't wrote a review in years and we buy 3-4 times a week on Amazon. This was the first live product so my fingers were crossed. Prompt shipment, well packaged, and a bonus fish. such a pleasant surprise!

Nice fish, just arrived, but more common Koi than butterfly. Not complaining, but thought I purchased all Butterfly. First time ordering online. No pictures possible, wanted to get them in pond asap. They were acting a little stressed from the shipment.

These were to be just butterfly fin according to the ad, I can only see one. I sent a request for colors orange, yellow, lemon and a blue. Out of the 5 fish I can only see 1 solid orange. The rest cannot be seen in the pond even though the water is clear. They are pink,white and speckled with colors not seen. The fish do look healthy. Just not happy

The media could not be loaded. So happy with this purchase! I was very nervous about buying live fish through Amazon but I’m pleasantly surprised. Bought them as birthday gift for my husband and he loved them.
