At Tri-Star Koi, we take pride in the quality of the products we offer, and Hikari is definitely one of our favorites. But our commitment doesn’t end when your order ships. We’re here to answer any questions you may have along the way.

Below, some of our clients' requested we worked with them in building a feeding regime to give their koi the most competitive edge. (these different regimes are blurred as this regime is specific to their needs, and not every hobbyists require the same specifications)

Tri-Star Koi is your one-stop shop for everything related to the Hikari Koi line. Plus, we offer a price match guarantee and free shipping on orders of 11 lbs or more.

Off to ZNA CAROLINA tomorrow morning with the new products!! Hope to see everyone there!!!

Our Boots and Cowboy hat are packed!!!

We’re thrilled to announce that Tri-Star Koi will be participating in the very first “Aquashella/Dallas Koi Show”! With thousands of fish enthusiasts expected to attend, this event promises to be an incredible celebration of our shared passion for these fish.

Let me share a bit about my journey:

I started Tri-Star Koi while I was still in college, driven by a deep love for koi that began when my mother took me to a local pet store at the age of 12. That day, I brought home my first Kujaku and a Doitsu Sanke, and my fascination with these stunning creatures only grew from there. As I pursued a degree in cellular and molecular biology with plans to attend dental school, I began to question whether that path truly aligned with my passions. After much reflection, I took a leap of faith and decided to fully embrace the koi industry. Looking back, I would make that same jump again without hesitation.

Based in Tennessee, Tri-Star Koi is dedicated to serving clients across the nation. We source our koi from the finest farms in Japan, and we take immense pride in the health and quality of our fish. Over the years, our clients have achieved remarkable success, earning numerous awards and accolades at koi shows throughout the country, and we are grateful for the trust they place in us.

We can’t wait to showcase our koi at the inaugural “Aquashella/Dallas Koi Show.” This event is an excellent opportunity to connect with fellow enthusiasts, share our love for koi, and celebrate the community we’re all a part of. Join us for what promises to be an unforgettable experience!

This weekend, Tri-Star Koi attended the Nashville Cherry Blossom Festival and connected with some of our client's ponds in the Nashville area to promote the koi hobby.

We may have something exciting in the works, so stay tuned!

While there, I also had the pleasure of running into two friends I met two years ago at Japan Fest in Atlanta. It was wonderful to reconnect and experience Nashville's celebration of Japanese culture!

Check out what they do!!
