Still not sure about the Summer Koi Social?
Neither was Sammi 😂🐶🐟
He spent a few minutes inspecting the koi, checking out the showroom, and after a very thorough investigation… he seems to think September 12 is going to be a pretty good time.
It is Good Boy Approved
We’ve already announced giveaways, koi trivia, and our first-ever Grow Out Competition — and we’re still not done revealing everything we have planned.

We are seriously excited about this one — Morganton Ponds is now carrying a variety of Hikari koi foods!

Hikari has been a trusted name in Japan for generations, with a reputation built on quality, consistency, and a deep understanding of koi nutrition. It is one of those brands that serious koi keepers know and trust, and we are thrilled to finally have more of their products on our shelves.

And the timing could not be better — our Hikari products will be on sale during the Summer Koi Social!

If you have been wanting to try Hikari, stock up for the season, or just see what all the hype is about, September 12 is the day to do it.

Alright… here’s another one we’ve been excited to announce. 👀🐟

At the Summer Koi Social, we’re kicking off a our very first Grow Out Competition featuring our Premium Aoki Tosai selection.

Here’s the idea: pick your koi, take it home, raise it, and see what you can turn it into.

The fun part is watching how much these fish can change with good care, good water, and a little patience. Then we’ll bring them back together and see whose koi developed the best.

And yes… there will be prizes and bragging rights on the line. 🏆

These Grow Out koi will be available for only $100 each during the event and there is no limit to how many you can buy.

Alright… who got it right? 👀🐟

The answer to today's koi trivia question is:

C) 226 YEARS OLD! 🤯

The fish behind that incredible number was a famous Japanese koi named Hanako. She was a scarlet-colored female koi that was reported to have been born around 1751 and lived until 1977. Her age was estimated by examining growth rings in her scales under a microscope.

That means, according to the reported age, Hanako was already swimming around before the United States even declared independence. 😳

Now, there is some debate over whether she truly reached 226 years old, since the age estimate was based on scale analysis and was never conclusively verified. But either way, Hanako has become one of the most famous koi stories ever told.

And if you thought that question was interesting, just wait until the Summer Koi Social…

We’ll have Koi Trivia with prizes up for grabs, so start brushing up now. 😂

Alright… time to let one more detail out of the bag 👀🐟

We’ll be doing giveaways at the Summer Koi Social, and yes — that includes koi.

One of the fish going home with somebody is this beautiful Doitsu Showa.

The contrast on this one is awesome, the pattern has a ton of personality, and it’s going to make a pretty great addition to someone’s pond.

And let’s just say… this won’t be the only surprise we have planned for September 12. 👀
