The koi arrived healthy and active. Its white body with a subtle shine is very striking in my 20-gallon tank. It’s much smaller than I expected, which makes it perfect for a compact setup. Very happy with the purchase.

It’s a beautiful fish with a unique shape. The metallic sheen is impressive under aquarium lighting. I’ve had it for two months and it’s still active and eating well.

The fish is vibrant and shows great color even after a few weeks. I appreciate the tank-bred quality—more active and less stressed than store-bought ones I’ve seen before.
