Kloubec Koi

Nestled in the Amana Colonies of Iowa, Kloubec Koi is a dedicated koi farm that breeds its fish locally rather than importing them — a distinction that customers repeatedly highlight as a reason for the exceptional health and vibrancy of their stock. This isn't a typical pet store with rows of tanks under fluorescent lights; it's a working farm where families can visit, walk among the ponds, and hand-select their fish from a stunning array of varieties and sizes. The operation revolves around one thing: koi done right.

Each fish is tested before shipping, and Kloubec's overnight delivery process has earned near-universal praise. Customers from California to the East Coast report receiving koi that arrive in pristine condition, carefully packaged and coordinated for next-day arrival via UPS. The ordering experience is streamlined — select your fish online, often from individual photos, and receive exactly the koi you chose.

Multiple reviewers confirm the fish look even better in person than on screen. Beyond live koi, Kloubec sells their own brand of koi food, which has built a loyal following. Customers describe their fish going wild for the large pellet formula, and repeat food orders are common.

The website is easy to navigate, and shipping on food orders typically arrives within two days. Long-term customers — some going back seven-plus years — speak to the consistency of quality. Staff members like Ellen and Jennifer Maresh are called out by name for their helpfulness and patience, fielding questions about pond care, feeding schedules, and koi health.

The farm also welcomes visitors in person, making it a worthwhile stop for pond enthusiasts passing through central Iowa. Granddaughters get tours, families chat with the Kloubec crew, and the experience feels personal rather than transactional. For pond keepers serious about sourcing domestically bred, healthy koi with reliable shipping and genuine customer care, Kloubec has built a reputation that extends well beyond the Iowa countryside.
