Our Mission Statement

The Upper Midwest Koi Club is the first club dedicated to the art of Koi collecting in Minnesota. Our winter environment creates some rather unique challenges due to our months of subzero temperatures.

We are an organization created to promote, educate and support the hobby of keeping, breeding, appreciating and exhibiting Koi, a fresh water fish also known as Nishikigoi in the Upper Midwest. Though our members are primarily located in the greater Minneapolis area, members are welcome to join and attend meetings from any location.

Our club’s primary focus is Koi and healthy habitats in which to keep them. We will promote AKCA (Associated Koi Club of America) sponsored shows and events until such time as we have enough interest to host one ourselves..
