At Pond Doctors, LLC, we are passionate about delivering the finest aquatic experiences, and that passion recently took Jeff and Zack Murray, our leadership team, all the way to Japan! Their destination? The renowned Kanno Koi Farm, nestled in the mountains of Niigata Prefecture—an area famous for producing some of the most exquisite koi fish in the world.

This trip was more than just an opportunity to explore the origins of these incredible fish; it was a hands-on learning experience, allowing Jeff and Zack to deepen their expertise and bring back premium-quality koi and advanced care techniques to Miami’s pond enthusiasts.

An Immersive Experience at Kanno Koi Farm

The Kanno Koi Farm is recognized as one of Japan’s leading producers of show-quality koi, celebrated for their impeccable patterns, colors, and health. During their visit, Jeff and Zack had the privilege of touring the farm’s spacious mud ponds where koi grow naturally, experiencing firsthand how these fish are nurtured from fry to mature beauties.

• Observing Koi Breeding Techniques: Jeff and Zack gained insights into the meticulous breeding processes that ensure only the finest koi with perfect scale patterns and vibrant colors make it to market.
