Champion Nishikigoi — Attraction in San Jose

Best koi fish seller I’ve been to. I’ve bought koi fish from here for the last 6 years, and I was always impressed by the customer service, quality and beauty of fish. I have bought about 15 koi fish here, ranging from $3000 - $600. All beautiful “keepers”.

The premises are clean and professionally run, the place is huge and the choice is vast. Just recently, I discovered that this place is fantastic, in a different way: I moved to San Francisco and the professional who built our new pond, recommended a seller in Oakland (a shorter drive, in other words; and it was supposed to be top notch). I was so disappointed (little choice, the prices were very high) when I got there that I turned on my heels and drove all the way down to San Jose.

We got 4 gorgeous, healthy, lovely koi fish to a very appropriate price. The staff is always super friendly and in a good mood, which is always lovely to witness.

As a result hobbyists can shop with confidence that they are buying healthy fish which (with proper care) will last for years, if not decades. The shop also carries a large selection of parts and will be happy to advise you if you want to build...

Champion is a great place for finding quality Koi. They are fair priced and easy to have shipped to you. I have been receiving koi from them for over 5 years and never had a problem with any of their fish. No diseases - no damage - survival rate100%. I am about 150 miles from San Jose but once I was in the area and went to their physical location. It was clean, well organized and knowledgeable people were there to answer questions. Currently I have about 60 Koi in a 22,000 gallon pond and Champion is the only place I trust to buy...
