About Koi Acres...

Koi Acres has two main goals:

To spread the knowledge of Koi and Koi keeping to as many people as possible.
To bring the beautiful Koi from the Niigata Prefecture to Minnesota and offer them at a reasonable price.

Every year, we travel to Niigata and hand pick the best Koi to bring back to Minnesota. We visit breeders all over the area around Ojiya City.

Tanks 1 and 2.

We quarantine each shipment for a minimum of 3 weeks to ensure that the Koi you buy are healthy and disease free.

Tanks 3 & 4.

Tanks one and two share a 650 gallon vortex chamber, a 60,000 gallon bead filter, and a total of 320 watts of UV light. Each tank has its own filter/aeration chamber.

Tanks three and four each have their own 650 gallon Vortex chamber, 20,000 gallon Ultima 2 bead filter, pair of 40 watt UV lights and one 80 watt High Output UV light. Before the water returns to the tanks, it passes through a chamber filled with media for bacteria to grow on.

This is our 93,000 gallon show pond. We are currently landscaping around it to enhance it's natural beauty.
