With so many varieties, how do you
choose?
Choose a koi
that catches your eye, a koi that makes you happy. Don’t get caught
up in needing the ‘perfect pattern’ Or the ‘perfect named-variety'.
Even the most superb Koi surely has some minor
flaws.
Sometimes when focusing in the minor flaws, we will fail to size up
the real value of the Koi. Accordingly, the most important thing in
judging a Koi is to place great importance on "the first
impressions" gained by you the moment the Koi meets your
eyes.
It is also beneficial to compare many koi before making your final
decision.
Here are some tips for selecting koi:
- Watch the koi
swim. Does it glide through the water with ease?
- Are all fins
intact?
- Any body
defects, scars or raised scales?
- Any bumps or
lesions on or under the skin?
- Watch its
breathing. Should be slow and regular, no puffing.
- Choose a
reputable dealer and stick with them!
- Is your
dealer knowledgeable about koi?
- Does your
dealer have an adequate facility to hold and quarantine koi?
- Does your
dealer handle koi correctly?

Kloubec
Koi are reared in the ancient tradition exactly as they
were over 2,500 years ago in the original home of Koi,
Niigata, Japan. In fact,
the mud and water chemistry in the Kloubec Koi ponds is
exactly the same as that in the ponds where Koi originated. The mud
ponds are also located at approximately the same latitude as
Niigata, Japan so Kloubec Koi are winter
hardy, which guarantees they will be long-lived pets.
All
Kloubec
Koi are hatched in the Kloubec Koi Farm
state-of-the-art indoor hatchery and transferred to the mud ponds
as fingerlings.
Kloubec
Fisheries is one of the Midwest's largest fish producing
operations with indoor hatchery and over 100 outdoor ponds.
Originally conceived by Myron Kloubec's father as a hobby in the
70's it was later developed by Myron into a permanent alternative
agriculture business in 1981.
Kloubec
Fisheries hatches, grows and supplies a wide variety of
quality fingerlings to stock into recreational areas, including
private ponds and lakes.
Kloubec
Fisheries sells both wholesale and retail and is expanding
again with the addition of our Koi division by the 3rd generation
of the Kloubec family. Myron's son, Nick Kloubec, has been
developing the Koi division for some time. All Kloubec Koi are
spawned, hatched and grown on our farms in Amana,
Iowa.
These are top quality Koi produced from both
domestic and
imported Japanese brood fish. Koi are available in a variety of
sizes and colors. By producing large quantities of Koi
fingerlings, the Tategoi are segregated and grown separately to
obtain truly beautiful Koi. If you are looking for high
show-quality Koi call us at direct @: (319) 846-2055.

When purchasing koi or goldfish they will come in
a plastic bag filled with oxygen. Please note that if the pond is
new or if the water has just been changed or added, be sure to
remove any chlorine or heavy metals using Pond & Fish
Conditioner. Follow these
steps to ensure happy and healthy fish:
1. Place the plastic bag, containing the fish,
into a shaded part of the pond. As the bag floats on the surface,
the water temperature in the bag will slowly adjust to the water
temperature of the pond. This may take anywhere from 20-30
minutes.
2. After waiting, further acclimate the fish by
opening the bag and slowly adding pond water. By mixing the pond
water with the water in the bag, the fish will be allowed to adjust
to the pH of your pond.
3. Let the bag float for another few minutes and
repeat step 2 a couple more times.
4. Once you’re done, slowly remove the fish bag
and free your fish into its new home. Dispose of the water in the
bag away from your pond because it most likely has high levels of
ammonia from the fish.
5. To help the fish aclamate to the new
water, you can pre-treat with a Liquid EcoStarter available in our on-line store. Just click
on the blue link to learn more or order.
