Viruses & biosecurity
Fish origins, health status and certificates
Good provenance is useful reassurance. Read exactly what a farm’s status, test or guarantee covers.
Yoshikigoi’s published statement
YoshikigoiFood publishes a statement that Yoshikigoi Farm has certified KHV- and SVC-free status. You can read that statement below. Ask WakeyKoi for the origin and relevant documentation for the specific fish you are buying.
Keep the scope clear
A farm-status statement is different from a laboratory result on one fish, and neither makes every fish from every supplier equivalent. We do not claim global exclusivity or extend a supplier statement to unrelated stock.
Continue good care at home
Quarantine and separate equipment remain useful because later exposure is possible. A parasite scrape checks a different question from targeted virus testing.
