For 20 years the site near Lymington, Hampshire has been breeding, rearing and selling quality Koi and Ornamental fish to the public and trade. New Forest Koi can supply fish from 2-3 week old koi fry through all grades to 16 inch + fish. Competitive pricing, quality fish and a dedicated after sales service has given New Forest Koi a strong reputation and large customer base across the British Isles. Our ability to mail order fish safely has ensured customers all across England, Wales and Scotland have been able to enjoy our fish. New Forest Koi is managed and run by a team of experienced and qualified fish farmers, fast developing a big reputation among koi keepers as a source of quality, hardy, English bred Koi and Ornamentals, and as a source of friendly, reliable and unbiased information on all aspects of fish keeping. What sets New Forest Koi apart from the rest: The use of top quality parent sets from the best breeders in Japan. All parents hand spawned in specially selected pairs in controlled conditions to give the highest quality fry. Selective grading to ensure delivery of the highest quality koi. Over 20 different varieties produced, from over 60 parent sets, changing and improving each season. All fish bred and reared on our own farm, ensuring healthy UK fish, eliminating the risk of introducing foreign disease issues to your pond. The combined experience and qualifications of our staff with fish culture around the world guarantees delivery of the highest quality fish and the best quality service. Our mail order service has ensured people across the country can enjoy this service and our fish. Low stock density ensures fish arrive in the best possible condition. Without travelling across the world and changing climates, our fish are known for their hardiness to the British weather, whatever time of year you wish to stock. How we grade our Koi for sale We are able to supply fish for all budgets and tastes, but below is a basic guideline to our Koi grading policy. Koi Fry Generally sold ungraded from the hatchery. The mix will therefore include all fish from very plain to very good fish. The percentage of good fish will depend upon the varieties included. For example, shusui and metallic varieties breed more 'true' to their breed/parents than Kohaku, that generally have a very low percentage of patterned fish. C grade Koi These are fish that do not fit into our other grades below. For example, they will not have the pattern or depth of colour for their variety. Examples would be Kohaku with little orange pattern, Sanke with too much black, metallics without clean enough heads (low lustre), or plain coloured koi (plain orange, plain white). They are very popular boxes of fish, very hardy pond fillers, or for gaining experience of rearing young Koi before moving onto higher grade fish. As with all our boxes, we aim to give you the best mix of colours available at the time. Standard Grade Koi Our most popular fish, and the fish that are sold in all auctions where no other grade is mentioned. These are excellent examples of their variety, generally sold as mixed batches to give you examples of as many varieties as possible, subject to availability. We will aim to include specified varieties if we can, but this is not as guaranteed as when you order high grade fish from us. These fish are the best patterned fish from our spawnings, with the exeption of those reserved for higher A grade fish (see below). High (A) grade Koi Many people on eBay seem to sell anything with fins and two eyes as A grade, so we are very careful here to tell you what we consider when we select our top fish. It is up to the customer to decide what is right. Our top fish are selected firstly on pattern and depth of colour in relation to both their age and variety, based on our experience of their development. With this in mind the fish are also judged on their future potential, for growth, and the depth and longevity of their colour and pattern. Our high grade fish are available in all varieties, though the majority of the more expensive fish will always be Kohaku, Sanke, Showa and Utsuri. To understand this you have to look at a few factors. Large investment in broodfish, lower fry survival/high fry mutation due to genetically weaker immune system (inbreeding in these bloodlines to develop the variety), very low percentage of fry true to variety/parents, which leads back to the high broodfish cost. Our high grade fish represent less than 2% of our total output each season, due partly to the issues discussed above, and also to our strict grading policy.
