BATCH 5 SOLD OUT. We currently do not know if we will have 1 further batch of fry to sell this year or not. We will update you as soon as we know more.
These JUMBO fry are the faster-growing fry, that have been selected due to their fast growth. They are up to TWICE the size of our normal fry, at the same age!
Batch 5 Jumbo Fry are a random selection from the following varieties: Kujaku, Doitsu Kujaku, Aka Matsuba, Kin Matsuba, Doitsu Kin Matsuba, Gin Matsuba, Doitsu Gin Matsuba.
Bloodline: Tamaura
You will get a random mix from the list above, and there is no guarantee you will get one of everything. If you want to order specific mixes, we recommend you buy our larger Small Koi Mixes, where this option is available.
Please note Fry orders MUST be shipped for arrival on Wednesday or Friday. Fish are scheduled to arrive between 7:00am and 2:00pm, and you MUST be in to sign for the fish (Koi delivery is £29.95). Collection must be made on either Friday or Saturday.
Fry have been acclimatised from the mud ponds, however, we advise you salt the tank/pond where you put the fry to 0.75% to help them acclimatise to their new environment. Hold the salt at this level for 1 week, then slowly bring it down with your regular weekly water changes.
They need a suitable tank or pond away from larger fish, good filtration and water quality are essential. Fry are delicate and will not cope with poor water parameters so please ensure you have adequate filtration systems to cope. Once you have received delivery or collected, it is your responsibility to provide a good quality environment big enough for these to grow on.
Koi are measured from the tip of their nose to the end of the tail. Please note sizing of fry is approximate.
The demand for our Jumbo Koi Fry is sky-high, as a result each batch we release is expected to sell out the same day they go on sale. We experienced record demand in 2026, with one batch selling out in under 4 minutes! Over the course of the summer we tend to release 4 or 5 batches of Fry, so you'll get a few chance at securing some Fry. We always prewarn customers when each batch is due on sale, via social media or our mailing list.
Fry Food:
Orders with 'YES' to food will come with 700g of Fry Food, this is the same food they are already eating on the farm. The food size will be appropriate to the Koi Fry you are buying.
Are you crushing up your food to feed to your Koi fry? Do you know the impacts this will have?
Feeding your fry crushed-up food (even “high protein” diets) can have a detrimental impact on the growth of your Koi fry. Most commonly used feeds on the market contain around 33-40% protein, however, this is inadequate for the needs of developing fry, regularly leading to bent spines, tails, curled out gill covers and incorrectly developed fins.
Our fry food, which we use each year to raise around 500,000 fry, contains 56% protein. Not only does this specific fry food have a higher protein content, but it also has higher vitamin and mineral levels to aid the fry in bone development.
To avoid any development issues, high-quality fry food is a must! We advise feeding this diet until the fish are at least 2” inches. Even after this stage, a high-quality diet of at least 40% protein is still required to ensure the best growth and development of your fish.
