Blackwater Creek is mainly a wholesale koi farm. We strive to produce the finest koi available and to keep your local dealer well stocked with the varieties and quality you want. To find a local dealer, you may check our dealer locator.
We know finding koi during the cooler months can be difficult, therefore we do sell fish on a retail level during those months your local dealer is closed. We have many tanks in which to view and choose the fish you like.
We are open by appointment only. We would love to see you during the slow season and to ensure we are here to show you around, if you are interested please contact us at 352.357.4563.

We are here to serve you. Let us help make your koi business or hobby the best it can be!
