Day 4 final day

30/1/2017

Comments

 
Our final day in Israel. Today we will be visiting two farms. The first on our list will be offering us some high quality small koi carp from 4 " upwards .
Picture
Picture
Here the farm had made things easy they had already prepared the sizes we needed. As we walked up to the tanks it was clear there was no need to pick so we bought all of the fish in the sizes we required.
Picture
Picture
After the koi buying we were given the guided tour of there goldfish facility.
Picture
Picture
Picture
This fish farm breeds huge amounts of goldfish. Here you can see one of the workers filling a holding tank full of Red Goldfish . These fish have come straight from the ponds in the fields and will now enter the packing house to be sorted ready for shipment.
Picture
After sitting and watching the goldfish pour into this tank we then traveled on to our last fish farm. The final place of our hand pick trip will take us to a Goldfish farm. Here they  produce the very best Oranda Goldfish in Israel.
Picture
Picture
It has been a a very good day. And this trip has been one of the most successful buying trips we have ever done. All that's left to do is to travel home and prepare for the fish to arrive later on this week.

The start of Day 2 on our trip takes us to view a new farm producing small high grade koi. This farm is concentrating on small koi it is a huge indoor facility with huge potential
Picture
Picture
Here you can see how this farm uses all of its available space. Here are some pictures just to show the amount of koi reared in the tanks .
Picture
Picture
Picture
We have been blown away by the number of high grade small koi we have seen and I’m sure you will soon see some of these koi in our facility this year. 

Gan Shmuel

Next sees the hand selecting at Gan Shmuel. Always a pleasure seeing what this farm has to offer.
Picture
Picture
Sure enough Gan Shmuel had pulled out all the stops. Having done our pre visit we were aware of the koi that they had but at second viewing there are some amazing koi.
Picture
Picture
Here is some of the most unusual koi. These fish had been requested by love aquatics back in June and the staff at Gan Shmuel have successfully managed to produce the fish.
Picture
As seen above is a very rare Tancho Goshiki
Picture
Picture
At Gan Shmuel we also hand select the very best grade Long Fin Koi. As seen below the varieties we have purchased are Predominantly Utsuri type.
Picture
Picture
The quality of koi at Gan Shmuel is simply amazing. One of the most exciting fish to come from today is the small Doitsu metallic mix . Here is a mix of Yamato nishiki ,kikusui ,kujaku and kikokuryu.
A very successful trip to Gan Shmuel and all the staff have done a fantastic job with all the koi they have prepared.

Day 1 

27/1/2017

Comments

 
Well nice early start to kick off our trip. It’s 5am and we are on route to Madankoi to do our pre visit. This visit will give us a first look at the fish prepared by the breeders for us to hand select.

The entrance into Madankoi takes us straight in to the farms packing house this is where all koi are prepared and packed for shipping.

Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture

Here there is in excess of 200 tanks fully stocked with various sizes and types of fish. As well as breeding koi Madan also producers excellent Goldfish varieties.

Picture
As you can see having a quick pre view there is lots of koi for us to hand select and the breeders have been very busy. Here is one of the many tanks we will get to hand select from when we come back here to start our buying .
Picture
Picture

Next visit Gan Shmuel


Next it’s off to Ganshmuel. Here we are expecting to see some more unusual varieties along with the excellent Long Fin Koi we had last year.

Picture
Although Ganshmuel is reasonably close to Madankoi we find that the breeders always try to offer something a little bit different. We quite often find some of the more unusual varieties here and of course amazing high quality long fin koi.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Looking around as with Madan Ganshmuel have pulled out all the stops there is a vast amount of koi to choose from and there is going to be some difficult decisions to be made on our selecting.

Dag Noy
​

Our 3rd and final stop takes us to one of of our most important Dag Noy. Situated near Jordan it is a reasonable drive out to the farm but usually well worth the drive. Here we are expecting to see some of the best koi you will find in Israel. Dag Noy is famed for having beautiful Sankes and kohaku but we have been told there is also alot of other varieties which they have had great success with this year.
Picture
We kick off the hand pick trip with these stunning koi.These are just a few examples of the amazing fish we have hand selected today.
Being the first trip has some great perks it enables us to see the one off fish the farms have. Jere are a few of the high quality koi we bought.

It’s been a really busy day we have hand selected over 500 pieces 11 inch and upwards . We have got some remarkable koi and now can’t wait to get them back .

Other than the small koi we also view a number of Fancy Goldfish Farms. This year we will be also Hand selecting High Grade Orandas and Ryukins Which will hopefully be available to purchase online as well as in our store. This fish were last year in short supply and we had already sold the majority of the fish before they were prepared for pictures.
