Further information

Tosai - Co-import incl. professional quarantine

Information

This offer consists of selected Tosai from Japan, i.e., young Japanese koi in their first year of life. The koi come from renowned Japanese breeders in Japan's well-known koi breeding regions, in particular from the Niigata area as well as from selected farms in the south of Japan. Every koi is a Japan Koi and was born in Japan.

Our co-import boxes offer the opportunity to acquire high-quality Japanese koi at a particularly attractive co-import price. The selection is made by our experienced team based on the respective quality, variety, and size class offered.

The koi will be ready for collection or shipping from spring 2027 (expected March 2027). A more precise date can be announced from the end of January 2027. By this time, they will have already completed the full, professional quarantine of at least 5 weeks. Veterinary care is provided by Dr. Rob Heymanns.

Shipping boxes for Tosai
Depending on the size of the koi, up to 25 Tosai can be shipped together in one shipping box. This figure refers exclusively to the capacity of our transport boxes. The koi are not pre-assembled as a fixed box but are individually packed for shipping according to your order.

Important notes on the co-import

This offer applies exclusively to co-import boxes from our online sales. The prices offered are valid online only and do not apply to the sale or individual selection of koi in our koi hall. The price includes the koi as well as the keeping, care, and preparation until 30.04.2027.

The boxes shown in the product images serve as examples of the quality, composition, and size class offered. You will not necessarily receive the exact koi shown in the respective photo.

The koi will be put together for your co-import box by our team according to the quality shown. Individual selection or choosing of individual koi is not possible with this offer.

The specially calculated co-import price is explicitly for this form of composition. A selection of specific fish, patterns, genders, or individual koi is excluded at this price. We do not offer preferred or better selection within this offer, even for an additional charge.

If you would like to select your koi individually on-site, you can do so independently of the co-import offers during our regular opening hours in the koi hall. The prices marked on-site apply there.

Shipping & Pickup

After placing your order, you must independently schedule an appointment for pickup or shipping via our online appointment portal for the 2026/2027 season. Please book your appointment yourself and contact us well in advance if you have any questions. The appointment portal will open at the start of the season in October 2026. We recommend booking your preferred pickup or shipping date well in advance.

What are Tosai?

Tosai are young koi from Japan that are still in their first year of life. Our Tosai come directly from renowned Japanese breeders and are specially selected for import to Europe.

With Tosai in particular, their further development is especially exciting: body shape, color, and markings can still change significantly as they grow.

Die Hälterungsleistung ist bis einschließlich 30.04.2027 unentgeltlich.

Holding

If you wish to take over your koi at a later date, it can remain in our care. The care service is free of charge until 30 April 2027 inclusive. There are therefore no additional costs for care during this period.

From 1 May 2027, further care will be subject to a fee. The additional costs incurred depend on the duration of the further care, are calculated per koi and are listed below:

  • Ab der 1. angefangenen Woche: 1,00 € pro Koi
  • Ab der 2. angefangenen Woche: 1,50 € pro Koi
  • Ab der 3. angefangenen Woche: 2,00 € pro Koi
  • Ab der 4. angefangenen Woche: Preis auf Anfrage

Frequently Asked Questions

Good to know

Can I come to your hall?

Yes, and that’s how we like it best. Tomphecke 25 in Mönchengladbach, no appointment needed. You can see the fish in the water, and we’ll walk you through what suits your pond. Our equipment is up and running, not just sitting on the shelf.

I don't know which pump or filter is right for my pond.

Give us a call. We need three pieces of information: how many liters the pond holds, how many fish are in it, and how many meters it is to the filter. Then we’ll tell you in two minutes what’s right for you—and what you don’t need.

How fast is the delivery?

Items in stock are generally dispatched on the next business day. The estimated delivery date is shown on each product page. Pickup in Mönchengladbach is available at any time.

Can I also buy koi online?

Yes. We ship koi with oxygen in a special box. For the larger fish, we call ahead—not every fish is right for every pond, and we’d rather discuss it one too many times.

What is BHK?

Brilliant Health Koi – an independent feed brand that we carry in our shop.
