Thread: Free koi needed

    Free koi needed

    If anyone for any reason is offering a few koi for free (or small price) I will be happy to take 1,2 or 3. I have got a small pool with 4 mature koi fish in NW London.

    Be careful of Koi from an unknown source,these can introduce parasites & disease into an established pond.

    I have some pond fillers to move on if you are interested - I'm in Farnham surrey. They are some of my original fish so really nothing special and probably Israeli.

    A Kohaku ~45cm that lost all its Hi - but sadly not all its shimmies lol.
    A Sanki - that is now well on the way to being completely white - quite big guessing at 55cm
    A Doitsu Showa who is very egg bound and not entirely straight
    A Yambuki Ogon with a bent tail

    If you are prepared to take one or more of those off my hands I may let you have my Chagoi too who is a nice clean fish - always looks a little dark at this time of year but lightens up over the winter.

    I have no issues with my fish and haven't introduced any to the pond since last year (I am hopefully picking a couple up on Sunday though). My fish may have a few skin flukes as I have never treated the pond and flukes are pretty endemic
    (no symptoms though)
    .

    If you are interested I will pm you some pictures.

    6000g in ground koi pond

    JBR boichamber->Blue eco 500 pump ->below surface return.
