Blue Ridge Fish Hatchery is owned and operated by Randy Lefever and Rick Brown, founder Wyatt Lefever' s son and brother. We are a wholesale only business specializing in the production of high quality koi, butterfly koi and goldfish for the koi and garden pond industry. If you are a hobbyist, feel free to contact us for a dealer near you.
Our fish are raised in mud ponds covering over 150 acres in northern North Carolina and southern Virginia.
We started out producing bait and aquarium-size goldfish in 1965, and have evolved into the largest supplier of pond fish in the country. We have whatever livestock you need, but our specialties are Koi and Butterfly Koi. Koi are relatively easy to raise and there are consequently many suppliers to the water garden industry. Quality Koi are difficult to raise, and that's what we do best. You will find that we offer the best pond livestock in the industry based upon consistent health and quality. Please contact us if you are a retailer of koi and goldfish.
These are the reasons you should use Blue Ridge as your supplier:
We set the standard for quality.
Koi and Butterfly Koi are repeatedly culled from over 5,000,000 fry, resulting in quality that rivals Japanese imports at half the price. Choose from three grades: standard, premium, or premium select.
Largest selection in the industry
Three grades of Koi and butterfly Koi, sarasa comets, shubunkins, fantails, orandas, lionheads, tadpoles, trapdoor snails, catfish. Hi-fin banded sharks.
Fish health is our obsession
Fish are produced from quarantined ponds (no new fish since 2002).
Fish are quarantined in holding tanks for an additional 10 days after harvest.
During quarantine fish are inspected and treated for any disease prior to shipment.
Periodic testing for the KHV virus.
