We have close to a 99% success rate when shipping corals with our packing techniques!

We guarantee live arrival with a signature upon delivery. Someone must be present to sign for the package. We ship all our corals on a before 1pm delivery unless higher priority shipping is selected at the checkout. We cannot be responsible for DOA when the product has been returned to the sorting / parcel office because you were not in to sign for the item or if the courier / postal service is late delivering, livestock is sent at buyers risk.

If there are DOA fish, corals or critters, we must receive notification of DOA via email info@perfectaquatics.co.uk within 2 hours of delivery.

Within 8 hours we must receive a clear picture of DOA* coral(s) / critters. We may request to have the coral skeleton sent back to us. Its also important that any packaging / packaging damage is photographed should a claim against the couriers be required for mishandling our parcels.

Because shipping stress may cause corals to change colours or be damaged, we may ask you to allow a period of time for the coral to come back, and then be evaluated for DOA. Some coral such as zoas and acans make take some acclimatization before they fully open please take this into consideration when contacting us regarding a DOA.

If you do receive a DOA coral or critter we will happily replace the coral if possible, if the coral is not available for replacement we will issue a store credit for coral purchase only (store credit has no time limit after purchase), shipping is non refundable.

NND DK Shiro Utsuri Grow and Show 2024 Tickets

Event Date - 28/04/2024

Event Start - 14:00 (2PM)

45 Tickets Available

This years selection for our annual grow out event is the outstanding NND (Nishikigoi Niigata Direct) DK Shiro Utsuri. These Koi come from an Omosako bloodline (The best breeder of this variety) and the female used now boasts a huge 95cm+ size. This means that all of these offspring have potential to get big. BUT, be warned selection of these young Koi is not difficult. Why? Because the development on this variety is staggering. Understanding that the pattern needs to be last on your list, although there will be clues sat under the shiroji (white skin) there will be so much more happen with the Sumi which is development that you cannot predict.

When selecting be sure to clock the body frame, the skin condition and be prepared to take a risk. The best fish will not necessarily be selected first.

This event will run for 1 year. Entries will be expected to send a 30sec video and picture next to a measuring device so we can see the growth that has been achieved by the Koi. However if you would rather concentrate on quality, we have a competition for this as well.

All competitors will be entered into the following catergories;

1. Best Growth - Heated Pond

2. Best Growth - Non Heated Pond

and there are two competitions for quality;

1. Best Quality Japan - Judged by Oomo Fujio (NND Breeder).

2. Best Quality Britain - Allan Tait - Chair of JSC - Head BKKS (British Koi Keepers Society) Judge.

Oomo Fujio San has agreed to judge this competition which is an honour. NND are one of my favourite breeders in Japan and will always hold a special place because one of there Koi was one of my first expensive high quality fish that I purchased. They need more exposure in the UK and I am proud to bring a selection of there Koi back to the UK (Krafty Koi - Anthony Day)
