2025 Koi Fry Production Update: What to Expect

Here's a quick update on our 2025 koi fry production, providing clarity on our current progress, timelines, and what you can expect in the coming weeks.

Changes to Our Spawning Approach

This year we're implementing a significant change: instead of multiple smaller spawning rounds, we'll carry out two large-scale spawning events. This adjustment is more efficient, enabling us to increase our overall fry production significantly.

Current Preparations

We’re currently hard at work preparing our broodstock, spawning facilities, and rearing ponds. It's an intensive period, but we're now in the final stages and almost ready to begin.

Anticipated Timeline

This week's unusually cold weather means spawning activities are slightly delayed. However, warmer weather is forecasted for next week, making it ideal for spawning. Based on this, spawning will likely commence about 10-12 days later than last year.

Consequently, we anticipate that the first shipments of 6-8-week-old fry will be ready in early July, although late June remains possible if conditions are favourable.

Availability and Shipping Dates

As usual, we will also offer 2-3-week-old fry towards the end of May, assuming our spawning activities proceed as planned and we have sufficient volume available.

Planned Varieties

Initially, we will focus primarily on Go Sanke varieties, along with a selection of other popular types. The final decision will be made just before the first spawning, based on which broodstock females are most ready and healthy.

Pre-orders and Pricing

The pre-order option remains available on our website until spawning commences. Once spawning begins, pre-ordering will close, and 2025 pricing will apply thereafter. We encourage you to pre-order soon if you wish to secure fry at current rates.

Thank you all for your continued support and interest—we’re looking forward to another successful fry season!
