Niigata Buying Trip

We are currently on our annual koi buying trip is Niigata, Japan.  Up in the mountains of Yamakoshi, we stay with our good friends and buy nishikigoi   

More to come soon. 

Breeding Season is Here

Breeding season for Ushijima Nishikigoi is in full swing. We have bred showa and sanke at our Kaneohe farm and a handful of goldfish varieties like ryukin, butterfly, shubunkin and more, in Manoa. Making and feeding brine shrimp isn't the easiest or cheapest method of feeding a fish, however the quality of koi or goldfish can not be matched. Take a look at the pics. More to come.

This last image is an experiment. Hope it turns out.

Koi Show

The Hawaii Goldfish and Carp Association will be holding their show on Saturday and Sunday 4/06 and 4/07. There will be a goldfish and koi competition as well as fish, plants and supplies for sale. Free admission.

8 Month Tosai Update

Tosai seem to grow like weeds. The last update was a little over 2 months ago and Ushijima Nishikigoi decided to admire some of our tosai during a 90% water change. The showa, sanke, and utsuri are really growing fast. The larger showa even made it to the larger pond to not old grow in length but is girth.

Goldfish Update

This past summer Ushijima Nishikigoi has bred four goldfish varieties, ryukin, telescope butterfly, shubunkin, and tamasaba. Here some of the pictures of their growth. (More images to come.)
