Mountain Top Koi

08/13/2026

This week I was able to get through a few more of this years spawns. I added a bunch more to the peanut koi and many of them are larger than the first group. I was also more particular on weeding out the deformed koi to insure these are a little better. I should be around for sales but be sure to call first as I may be armpit deep in a mud pond.
These will be 50 koi for $100 my choice. I will do my best to make sure you get a good variety of color. Hope to see you all soon!

The koi in the pond we will be harvesting at our Fall Harvest Event September 5th and 6th are eating a ton of food and putting on the last of the growth before we harvest them. Still being fed 16 times per day and I keep turning up the volume of food and they keep eating it all and wanting more. We are currently feeding almost 5 times the amount we started when we introduced them to this mud pond. I expect to turn the feeder quantity up a couple more times before harvest which will put us at 7 to 8 times the volume of food we started with just 4 months ago. I am glad we are harvesting them or I would go broke feeding this quantity of food for very long. 🤣
We will be offering the pick of the litter raffle at the event and it is going to be a DOOZY! Some very, very, nice koi in the pond this season. Hope to see you all there!

We are going through the Thai Oranda spawn this morning and finding a lot of very nice ones!

Well, we decided to do one more round of spawns to finish out the year so I put out 4 new groups yesterday and all of them are spawning currently. 🎉
We put out an Aragoke Shiro Utsuri female to a Ginrin Shiro, Kin Ki, and a Ginrin Hi Utsuri Butterfly males.
Ki Utsuri female to a Ginrin Shiro Utsuri male, Kin Ki Utsuri and a Ginrin Butterfly Hi Utsuri male
A Doitsu Ochiba Shigure to Kikusui and Ginrin Ochiba Shigure
A Kin Matsuba female to an Aka Matsuba, Kirin Butterfly, and Yamabuki Ogon males

These were varieties that we either had not spawned yet or had low numbers left from the spawns we got. Due to the cooler temperatures outside now we will be keeping these koi indoors until the first culling and then we will see what happens.
We have been extremely blessed to have had such a successful spawning season and plenty of fry produced at a high quality to be able to offer some AMAZING koi to our customers going forward!

We will be closed for the remainder of the day today and for Monday July 27th for a short family trip. We will be back and open for business on Tuesday the 28th. Thanks for your understanding and God Bless you all!!

GOOD NEWS!!
As of next Saturday August 1st, we will have our famous peanuts available for purchase! For those of you new to our page, these are 1"-3" koi that did not make the grade for us to hold back to continue growing. However, this does not mean that there aren't some AMAZING koi to be had. We are very limited due to space and that forces us to be very selective of what we hold on to. If we have a pond of amazing koi, we have to get the numbers down to keep health and growth rates good. For instance, if we have a pond with 10,000 yellow koi, we have to cull some of the yellow koi to get numbers down.
The pond we just went through has so many amazing koi that we were forced to sort out a number of koi I would have normally kept to grow but keeping them all reduces growth rates and could cause issues with the health of the koi due to overstocking. I will also be culling several more ponds this week to add numbers and variety to the mix before next weekend.
The last couple years we did them we were selling 50 koi for $100.00. There are some mild deformities in the group we just sorted so we will be offering the 50 for $50.00 again to insure you get your money's worth.
Another note, this is not a you pick type of deal. If you want them I will take a scoop, count out 50 and that is what you get.
If you do want to select, they will be $2.00 each and it is up to you to do the catching and selecting. I don't have the time to wait while someone takes hours to find certain koi they want, Sorry!

Today we decided it was time to start culling the Metallic Akame Butterfly's spawn. I knew the numbers in the pond were significant as I knew how many we put in and also how many I have seen still in the pond when feeding. With the average size around 2" I felt the pond was at its maximum stocking so it was time to get the numbers down.
Due to the massive amount of fry I knew it was going to take several days to get through them all so setting up a temporary holding pool for the koi we were keeping to grow on was necessary. I set up a 10' round pool at the side of the pond with a small pump feeding fresh water from the pond into the pool and out an overflow back to the pond.
Three of us culled for 10 hours today and we got through maybe a quarter of them I would guess. We only ran the seine net about 25 feet of the 135 feet of the length of the pond to get the first batch and I ran the net the same a second time and got a ton more again.
This spawn DID NOT DISAPPOINT!!! I have never seen a spawn with such variation in it and even with the variation, still exceptional quality. We did get fish up to almost 5" out of the pond but not a lot just yet. Those will be hiding on the 8' deep end and we only seine netted the 3' part. I am looking forward to getting back to sorting tomorrow and possibly getting into some more of the larger ones that we can bring up and offer for sale.
