Blue Ribbon Koi & Marine
UnclaimedKoi dealer in Catharpin, Virginia
Blue Ribbon Koi & Marine is a family-owned aquatics shop in Catharpin, Virginia that traces back to 1986, when its founders were among the founding members of the Mid-Atlantic Koi Club. Originally a koi-focused hobbyist business, it expanded into marine livestock in 2005 and broader freshwater fish and aquascaping supplies in 2022. The shop sells individually priced, photographed WYSIWYG Japanese koi — Showa, Sanke, Kohaku, Shiro Utsuri, Doitsu, Gin Rin, and Ochiba Shigure lines running roughly $800 to $1,800 each — for in-store pickup only; koi are not shipped, unlike the store's coral and dry-goods inventory.
