So when my wife and I moved to Fallbrook in 2013 imagine my delight when we drove by Mr. Adachi's business. So I came on here to look up that great Koi farm I used to stop by when I lived in Fallbrook and was pretty astounded to see the terrible review here. My experiences with Mr. Adachi couldn't possibly be more of a polar opposite. I found him to be a wealth of knowledge, I found his koi to be immaculate and the ginrin shiro utsuri I purchased from him was one of the most beautiful things I had ever laid eyes on, a true gem, and as healthy as can be. I agree wholeheartedly that every koi enthusiast, new and old should check out all of the suppliers and importers they have access to, ask them questions and be as selective as possible when picking your fish. Trust me, you'll want to buy them ALL but Takemi will be the first one to tell you it's better to have one or two perfect fish than to pack in as many as will fit and struggle with filtration and water quality issues. I couldn't possibly recommend California Koi Farms Inc. any more, so when you're doing your rounds be sure not to skip this stop. You'd normally have to fly to Niigata to stand next to someone who knows as much about keeping perfect water and top quality fish and have a chat. I'm rather certain you won't be disappointed.

Extremely knowledgeable and polite husband and wife team…read more I inherited my koi pond when I bought my new house. After a year, I felt pretty good about my abilities with the koi and keeping the water clean so I decided to add a couple of new small ones to the pond. I had visited California Koi a few times in the past to look at their inventory and speak with the owner so I felt comfortable and confident with their fish. Like a thousand other novices before me, I didn't quarantine the fish before putting them in my pond. 3 days later one my 30" koi was dead. The others were flashing or just sitting at the bottom of the pond in isolation with fins clamped. I went back to California Koi and spoke with the owner. He recommended a product for me to try (MinFin) so I bought it ($80) and applied it that day. It didn't work. I went back to his business again the following day to seek further advice but he wasn't there. I decided to wait. While I waited, I observed his show tanks. Now that I knew what to look for I saw that all of his fish were exhibiting the same symptoms my fish were displaying. I pointed this out to his wife and she agreed that their fish were sick and needed to be treated. She asked that I leave my number so that her husband could call me to discuss treatment options. He never called and I found a new dealer to purchase medication to fix the problem (costia). I used Terminate ($25) and salt baths to rid the pond, but after 6 weeks my fish were flashing again. Now I just finished applying Proform-C in hopes that it will clear up the issues. All of this because California Koi's fish are infected and I didn't properly quarantine. But my biggest reason for the one star is because they KNOW their fish are dirty and infected and still sell them to the uninitiated like me. After having visited several other dealers since all of this began, I now know that California Koi has the lowest standard of fish keeping. If you are new to this, I highly recommend visiting at least one other dealer in person before making a purchase from California Koi. You will see that California Koi is not up to the industry standard.

I interned there for 3 months during the summer and felt gutted by the conditions these animals live in. They'll leave their reptiles in tubs and only drag them outside for sunlight. Their opossums only see sunlight when taken to a show at a library. Their animals are constantly harboring illnesses and injuries. This is no place to go if you want to contribute to something good. Do not take this internship if given the chance. It's a bunch of slave work. Yes, the animals make it worth it, and it looks nice on a resume, but cmon just go volunteer at a shelter. This place makes me sick. I feel sad for the underpaid and overqualified staff. Never going back

They require payment in advance, but the system doesn't work properly. I tried booking for 3 people and it only charged for 1. I tried again for 2 people, and it still only charged for 1.
