About
In the rolling countryside of the Amana Colonies, Kloubec Koi is less a conventional fish store than a working koi farm — a place where pond keepers can walk the ponds, talk fish with the Kloubec family, and hand-select their next koi in person. What sets this Amana, IA operation apart is right there in the water: every koi is bred domestically on-site rather than imported, a distinction longtime customers credit for the remarkable health and color of the stock. Because the fish are raised locally and each one is health-tested for the virus, the disease worries that shadow imported koi — KHV among them — simply aren't part of the conversation here.
The selection is what keeps people coming back. Visitors describe arriving for one fish and leaving with five, drawn in by the sheer variety of koi for sale in Amana, IA — butterfly koi, blue shusui, Showa and Sanke, the gentle-giant Chagoi, and young koi in every size and pattern. One customer who came for a single koi discovered blue koi for the first time and took two home, and that kind of delighted surprise comes up again and again.
The Kloubec family is consistently described as knowledgeable and patient, happy to let visitors take their time comparing fish and to field questions about pond care, feeding schedules, and koi health. Staff members Ellen and Jennifer Maresh are called out by name in review after review for warm, genuinely helpful service — the sort of personal attention that turns first-time buyers into customers of two decades and more. Beyond the fish, Kloubec makes its own koi food, and pond owners swear by it: the Platinum formula gets specific credit for deepening color, and the large pellet is a repeat favorite.
For anyone in central Iowa serious about healthy, domestically raised koi, this Amana farm has built a reputation that reaches well beyond the colonies.

Customer reviews
“I like being able to order the exact fish I will receive plus a group order of smaller fish for a great price. We met the shipment at the door and immediately went to the pond. The fish were apressure active and ready for freedom. After 30 minutes of acclimation, they were off - finding other fish friends quickly and enjoying their new home. I am very pleased with my purchase and will enjoy watching them grow.”

— Dan Zedan5.04 days ago“Terrific choice of butterfly koi and fantastic customer service. Jennifer proved very friendly and very accommodating. My four baby koi made it home in great health. Much appreciated!”
— Jerome Moisand5.06 days ago“I've got a 1 acre pond I dug specifically for koi and have ordered from pretty much every online koi dealer out there. I did my first order with Kloubec this year and WOW, the fish are absolutely stunning. The only frustration on my end was one order became two, two became three and now I'm having to physically fight myself to stay off the website. Kloubec's fish are healthy, gorgeous and very well priced for the size you get. On top of that, since they are bred domestically, things like KHV are not a concern as if you are buying direct imported fish which is very important to me. Thanks for the amazing fish and great customer service! Frank”

— Joe Catena5.02 weeks ago“We purchase two Koi and they came on the day and hour that was given to us. The Koi were beautiful. The pictures of the Koi were the ones we received. If only we were made of money we would have bought bigger Koi. Thank you, retired married couple of 48 years with the pond being 30 years old. Joe & Thora”
