Picked up Koi today....

[MDFishTanks]

I got these Koi for my pond today for 5.00!!!!!! YES - $5.00! They couldn't take care of their pond any more so I got them for 5.00 and they even said they know they are worth a lot but they wanted them to go to a good home! I literally had to get in the pond and catch them though, with a tiny net that was only big enough for the head of the big ones. I didn't get them all and they told me to come back and get the rest...I may this weekend. 2 of them are HUGE!

Is there a Koi forum on here?

that white one is siiiiiiiiiiiick the black on its topside looks colored in. Nice come up

The white one looks really good in person. I'll try to get some better pictures tomorrow. After driving over an hour I just wanted to get them in the water and out of the container. I still cant believe I got these things for basically free.

There were some big all black ones with gold fins that I could not catch. I may try to get them this weekend.

They said they had them for 6 years since they were babies and they have mated and had multiple babies of their own...not sure where they got them from.

Lower the pond water so you can catch em easier.
