Buy Live Koi & Goldfish - Pricing & Availability

Information to help you buy live Koi & Goldfish:

Mid spring thru summer we have Koi and Goldfish in display tanks at our facility in Richmond, IL. You are able to view the fish, and if you find one that you like, we will carefully net it out and package it up for you to take home. We put the fish in large plastic bags with oxygen, so they will be fine for multi-hour car rides. Ideally, you should bring a tub with you to put the bag in for the trip home. Rubbermaid tote tubs work great. The largest bags are about 2 feet long by 18 inches wide when full, and weigh up to 25 pounds. If you don’t have an appropriately sized tub, we can box up the bag for a small fee.

Below is an availability list that we typically update as things change during the season. You can email us at info@keystonehatcheries.com if you want to check on something before making the trip.  We would be happy to update you about the general selection, but we do not give details on specific fish in the mix, because that changes from day to day:

Update. 2-14-24.  We are looking forward to a new season once the water warms up in April.  This year we are offering an improved selection and reduced prices on most varieties!  Please check back for updates, or follow us on Facebook.
