Fish Sales
The Koi that we sell are sold to you on the understanding that you are familiar with the basics requirements of Koi keeping.
Where possible the photograph of the fish shown is a photograph of the actual fish for sale. If this is not the case, for example when advertising koi fry, it will be clearly stated that the photograph is a representation of what will be supplied and not the actual fish being shipped.
All prices are exclusive of VAT, unless otherwise stated.
Delivery is overnight by APC timed/security service and will arrive by 12.00 pm the day after shipping. This service is available in England, Scotland and Wales mainland excluding the following postcodes AB30, 33-26, 42-45, 53-56: DD8-DD9 or AB37-38; IV26-28; IV40; IV52-54; KW1-14; PA36; PA40; PH30-41.
Cost of shipping per box will be shown on your invoice.
Purchasers must be aged 16 or over and possess a valid pet shop licence in the case of trade sales.
All fish shipped will be inspected prior to packing to ensure they are in a healthy condition and fit for sale, showing normal behavioural signs, colouration and feeding patterns. Prior to shipping, feeding will be withdrawn as appropriate. Fish will be packed in double-skinned poly bags and the bags inflated with sufficient oxygen content and water to support them for the shipping duration.
Customers MUST be in to accept delivery of all Koi.
It is the customer’s responsibility to ensure that the environment that their new Koi is being introduced to is suitable, healthy and well maintained. Once delivery has been made, you, the purchaser, are legally responsible for the welfare of your new Koi.
Once you have received your Koi, you must immediately open the box carefully and float the unopened bag, on the pond that your Koi will be released into, for 15 – 30minutes so that the water temperature in the bag will equalise with its new environment. Release your Koi gently into their new pond, let them settle down peacefully and keep a close eye on them to ensure they are happy. We recommend that you quarantine all new Koi, wherever you buy them from, if at all possible. If you have any questions or concerns about your new Koi, please do not hesitate to contact us.
