Miyabi Koi Farm specializes in carefully selected Japanese Nishikigoi from many of Japan's leading breeders, along with our own selectively bred koi.

We focus on exceptional quality, honest guidance, and long-term customer relationships. Situated smack-dab in the middle of the East coast, Delaware has a climate very similar to the low-lying coastal regions of central and western Japan. Being part of the Atlantic Coastal Plain, most of the area lies very close to sea level having sandy soils. In our local area however, we are surrounded by an abundance of very thick white clay soils perfect for building mudponds. Koi benefit greatly from growing in these clay soils during the warmer months, which helps to stimulate their appetite and excel growth, as well as create a wonderful shine and luster. We import limited numbers of Japanese koi during the year to use as parent stock, and also to offer for resale and grow out. Breeding quality koi is a continual learning curve, but I’m very proud of the quality of koi that we’ve been able to breed. As our experience grows, so does the number of noteworthy koi produced. We have a very reliable partner in Japan that handles procurement of our Japanese stocks from Japan’s best and also best-hidden breeders.

A big thank you to a customer who made the trip up from Virginia today and headed home with 13 koi — 12 Japanese imports and one of our very own Miyabi-bred koi!

He mentioned that he was actually a little surprised because he couldn't tell the difference between our homebred koi and the Japanese imports. I have to admit, that was pretty nice to hear! Apparently, our little homegrown koi managed to blend in with the Japanese crowd without even needing a passport! 😂🇯🇵

All joking aside, it's always rewarding to see our koi heading off to good homes, and especially encouraging when our own breeding efforts get that kind of recognition.

Thank you again for making the journey to Miyabi Koi Farm! We truly appreciate your business and hope you enjoy your new additions!

A nice visit at the farm today!

One of our customers from Maryland, a retired gentleman who has always enjoyed raising animals, decided he’d like to try his hand at amateur koi breeding. He picked up a Showa female along with two males, with plans to spawn them next spring.

They’re all bagged up and ready for the trip home. 🐟📦

It’s always a pleasure seeing him, and I really appreciate the continued support of Miyabi Koi Farm.

Now the waiting begins… looking forward to spring and seeing what this little breeding project produces! 🌸

Thank you again, and good luck with the future spawn!

A little update on some of the babies you haven’t seen much of yet.

These Kohaku, Showa and Shiro Utsuri were spawned back in August, and judging by the groups coming up into the warm shallows today, they’ve been growing particularly well. They’ve also figured out exactly where the feeding areas are. Smart little things. 😂

Of course, thanks to Allan Martin, I’m apparently no longer raising Kohaku, Showa and Shiro Utsuri.

I’m raising Koos, Showers and Shee-rohs.

And judging by these Showa, the “Showers” are finally starting to become Showas. 😆

Not bad for the late-season crew.

Feeding time in the grow-out pond 🙂

These koi have been in the mud pond since June, and by now the routine is pretty simple: feed well, keep the pond in good shape, and give them time to grow.

Most of the time the water keeps their progress hidden, but feeding time gives us a quick glimpse of what’s been developing underneath. Bodies filling out, patterns stretching, and hopefully a few nice surprises waiting for us when harvest time comes.

Still a little more growing to go before we get the full reveal 🙂

Another bowl from our Kohaku culling! These are just a random selection of the 286 young Kohaku we chose to keep and returned to the pond. I’m really liking what I’m seeing so far this year, and I can’t wait to see how they look once they’ve had time to put on some size.

There’s another Kohaku spawning growing out in the largest fry pond, too. I’ll get to those as soon as they’re big enough to sort. At this point, I’m beginning to think the Kohaku are in charge of my schedule. 😄

See these keepers in high resolution on YouTube:

I said I was done spawning koi this year.

Apparently that was a lie. 😂

May’s weather made spawning season unusually unpredictable and set several things back, so I decided to give it ONE more try in early September.

And this time things cooperated!

These Ginrin Sanke started hatching September 11 after very good fertilization, even using only two males. They’re looking strong, healthy, and hungry.

They’ve been on feed for a couple of days, and now it’s time to release them. Since they’re such a late spawn, I’m going to try a slightly different growing strategy and really push them to catch up.

I’m very curious about this pairing and excited to see what starts showing up when we reach the first cull.

And yes…

THIS is definitely the last spawning of 2026.

Probably. 😆
