Where to find quality Koi, Pinoy and other Angels

[Toothy]

Hello, new member this is my first post. I'm in the planning stages of an Angel tank build (I'll add a post in the build section). Been in the hobby since I was a kid started with community tank, went through many years of africans, have 125 reef tank now and want to start a planted Angel tank. Been looking for where I can find a variety of koi, pinoy, blues etc. Having a hard time finding a source I would trust. angelsplus.com seemed like a reputable place with limited stock. Anyone have experience with them or other suggestions?

thx Ken

Steve Rybicki at angelsplus is the top breeder of koi in the world. But his fish are very expensive. If money isn't an issue, I highly recommend you get his koi. The "WYSIWYG" ones and the breeding pairs are the most expensive. But they are incredible fish.

I will say that the vibrant red color does require a special diet to remain that vibrant. But the full coverage is there regardless. He also sells the classic tri-color koi for less.

You already know all that if you've visited his website though. Haha

Steve is a great guy. Ive had several genetic conversations with him. He has been breeding for decades. His koi are second to none.

As for pinoy and other blue types, I can lead you to some great breeders that don't have websites, but they breed and ship high quality fish. Whatever you do....do NOT use angelmania.

Thanks Bizaliz! I'll take you up on the other blue type breeders when I'm ready. Still in the planning phase. I plan to get some Kois from Angels Plus but seems like they have a limited variety now. I guess that changes based on demand.

Biz my new tank finally arrived so probably a month out before I'm ready for fish. Probably get a few koi and Dantum from Angels+. Looking for some other cool looking blue or something nice to go with the kois. Can you send me some of your contacts and any thoughts/suggestions to go with the koi and dantums. Not looking to raise fry just nice centerpiece types. I'm in MD just in case there are any within driving range but I'm fine with shipping. thx ken
