Twenty years of passion for Nishikigoi
KOI & VIJVERBOUW started as a pond-building company with a love for Japanese koi. Today we auction exclusive Nishikigoi sourced directly from leading Japanese breeders, with our own import, quarantine and health checks.
Our story
What began with building koi ponds grew into a deep specialisation in Japanese Nishikigoi. Over the years we built strong relationships with renowned breeders in Japan.
Those direct lines let us import top koi that are normally only found at Japanese auctions — and offer them through a transparent, live bidding platform to enthusiasts in the Netherlands and beyond.
Every koi is imported, quarantined in our own facility and checked by a vet before the auction. So you know you are buying a healthy, authentic fish.
Only koi from verified Japanese breeders, with certificate and bloodline.
Our own quarantine facility and a veterinary check before every auction.
Short lines to top breeders in Niigata and Hiroshima — no middlemen.
Our specialists think along, from first bid to pond.

Every koi first enters our own facility and is checked by a vet.
