    Interesting find, never knew they existed. But note all the Koi are Israeli or Thai.
    This might just be me, but the boast about doubling their Koi health guarantee to 10 days actually put me off.

    I personally didn't see any Koi that I thought were value for money.
    Nor the Fancy Goldfish either, and I have a bit of experience with those.


    For Koi in the Gatwick area you can't beat Gatwick Koi, and no need for a "health guarantee" from there as the Koi are heat cycled and quarantined for up to 3 Months.

    And if you are soon to be in the market for Koi in the Gatwick area, Gary is in Japan right now and has bought a shed load of fish which will be coming in over the next couple of weeks.

    Didn't realise they were Israeli Koi, I was just doing a google search and came across the company and thought I'd post it up.
    My lad lives in Horsham and we popped to Gatwick Koi about a month ago when Wifey and I were up there, lovely fish and worlds apart from what I'd seen previously for sale and since, when my pond eventually gets built, I'll stock it with british bred fish at the start and once Im happy with the pond, my plan would then be to buy a good few fish from Gary, but new pond syndrome and everything else would hopefully be settled, lovely fish and a nice fella and offered me loads of advice.

    All you need to do is look on website and choose a Koi.

    Paypal me the money (friends and family).

    I shall visit and video it if you like, and buy the Koi for you.

    Then I shall put it in my pond until next time your down this way to pick it up.

    So I assumed they were Japanese Koi.

    After looking through the pictures I wasn't so sure and read a bit more, to discover they were Israeli and Thai.

    Nice fish that looks, my dogs will see the Heron off, they hate birds in the garden.

    I bought a shusui of them a couple of years ago. Never had a problem with it. it has doubled in size and has very good colouration to it. Think I paid about £35 for it at the time.
