Tri-Star Koi (By Appointment)

Cannot express enough how happy that we found Tri-star Koi! It was really easy to set-up an appointment with Marlon. The drive from Nashville area was beautiful. We were amazed with the variety and quality of Japanese import koi! Marlon the owner was great to talk to. He is very knowledgeable about how to keep koi especially in the TN climate. My sons totally enjoyed chatting with him.The prices are very reasonable for such quality and experience especially when you make the drive out there. Was worth the drive for sure. And was the best koi buying experience! Will definitely be back.

I went here looking for my first Koi fish and had a great experience working with the owner Marlon!

He took the time to give me a tour and thoroughly answered all my questions. It is refreshing to see someone who is trying to educate and not take advantage. Highly Recommend!

Look, everyone has said more than enough great things in support of Marlon and his company Tri-Star Koi. Allow me to not only add to that BUT ALSO help explain the amazing work being done here for anyone on the fence about ordering online, or taking the time to go see him and his store.

I am a industry guy. I work in and have worked in the industry for many years. While working in this industry I have become an expert in many things...Yet while working with Marlon I almost felt like a koi novice. The passion he has and care he takes sets him above many companies country or even world wide. I have seen very few places take fish care and health more seriously. This places quarantine procedures dwarf that of almost any I have ever worked with or purchased from. Marlon works tirelessly and vigilantly with his fish.
It however doesn't just end there, he has EXCEPTIONAL knowledge on koi development. If you're a serious collector in the hobby... you will WANT to work with this guy. He is the kind of eye that can help you look beyond the fish he has now to help you see and understand what that fish will become years from now. He is the guy you want choosing your fish FOR you.
Then if the healthiest and nicest fish aren't all you needed to hear lets bring it all back to Marlon himself. A good honest, hard working, and friendly guy. He met with me after hours. Worked with me well into the night and did not once expect me to get anything or leave by any time. He does this because he WANTS to. This is a part of him not just his job. From refreshments, to a tour, to chitchatting, it just felt like I was hanging out with an old friend talking koi.
Please if you haven't given him a chance yet, DO. My biggest take away from a trip to Tri-Star Koi is the fact that I waited too long to go up there!
Lastly on the book I have typed. Thank you Marlon. You have earned my respect, trust, and continued business. I hope this business not only continues to grow but one day becomes vastly more than you ever dreamed of.

My experience working with Tri Star Koi was fantastic. Marlon, who I worked with mostly, had a tremendous amount of knowledge about the origin of the fish he had on hand, and was extremely professional in getting my order shipped to me quickly and safely. I’ll plan on ordering from him again when I can! Love the shirts too

Absolutely fantastic service with Tri-Star Koi, Marlon was so personable and knowledgeable I knew was in good hands. He was more than happy to take his time in answering all the questions I had for him and made sure I had all the information I needed. He truly cares and takes pride in the Koi that he sells. Look forward to doing repeat business with him in the future!

What a wonderful experience this was . The owner( Marlon) is very knowledgeable, friendly and so accommodating, ( he saved some fish for me until I was able to get there the next week). The fish are just beautiful wish I had a bigger pond I would have bought more. Would definitely recommend this business if you are looking for high quality koi, this is the place to go

The customer service was impeccable, and Marlon walked me through the entire process with kindness and knowledge. I had always wanted koi fish but was too anxious to pull the trigger for the longest time. But knowing all the fish are raised locally in Tennessee, along with Marlon's willingness to remain a key contact point for me after purchase, made me willing to finally act on getting some!!

Very exciting to listen and observe Marlon take care of his Koi. As a new pond owner, he is very helpful with my many concerns and questions. Living within 15 minutes of his operation I would highly recommend doing business with him.

If I could give more than five stars, I would. Marlon is extremely helpful and knowledgeable about koi. My small pond in my backyard was lacking the crucial element, so he informed me how to prep the pond and how to take care of the koi for years to come. My backyard is now complete and beautiful. Thank you, Marlon!!

Marlon at Tri-Star Koi is your man for all things Koi. He's also friendly and easy to talk to and an overall good guy.
