    Sad to have to dismantle pond

    Hi, Looking for some advice please.
    Due to moving house I have to dismantle my pond and therefore need to move on my Fish and equipment. The main issue i have is time, needs to be sorted and gone by mid January.
    Has anyone been in this situation? I have 26 fish varying in size from 10in to 26in of varying type, all from either Cuttlebrook or The Koi Water Garden ( Malcolm Green).

    Please help on best way forward. (Photo's will follow)

    Thanks

    Chris

    Sad to hear you have to shut the pond down mate.
    Where are you based?

    Hi Craig,

    Yes, after so many years it is a shame. I'm based in South Wales. One of my issues is I don't have a clue what to ask when selling as I've never sold any.
    But, I expect I'll find out.

    More a case of what people are willing to pay. Seems to me to get any sort of money you will likely need to know the breeders/sex and age.(not that I have sold any) But as it is for most of us it is not the cost of the fish its the giving them up after so many years that is hard.

    I’d suggest posting some pics of the fish, the sizes, ages, etc. People on here will be able to help I’d guess when they can see what you’ve got.

    I’ll happily help out and rehome some but like you I have no idea on costs/prices. I have a near 4K gallon pond with 5 tiny goldfish in at the mo conditioning the filters so I’ve got plenty of space.

    Cheers.

    Hi Chris, nice healthy looking Koi and great photos.

    Could be worth putting a post up in the for sale section with all the details for each Koi.

    There's already some incredible Koi for sale on the forum based in the south, but they seem to be selling really slowly so I guess it's down to the time of year. That said yours will be more accessible to those that can't travel to the ones already up for sale so you might have some joy.

    Best of luck finding good homes.
