Fish free to a good home
Time to try and move on some of my original koi as I am now getting quite overcrowded. These are not the greatest fish lol! Probably all Israli and among my first purchases when I thought £18 was a lot to spend on a fish! The sizes are very approximate if you are interested in taking any of them I can catch and measure them properly if you want.

This one used to be a three step kohaku but gradually lost all her Hi. Before I re did the pond and separated the koi from the planted margin she damaged herself badly during spawning - the old scars can still be seen on her left hand flank. A greedy fish now pushing 50cm and about 8 years old.

This one is rapidly turning into a kohaku the picture below was taken a few years back. It has also developed a bit of a curve to the right as can just be seen in the photos above. Now around 40-45cm 6 years

Hi there
Where are you based ?
I currently have a 10,000 litre pond doing very well and I’m in the process of building a 45,000 litre and would be very interested in your offer to bulk out my new pond.

I’m near Birmingham
So it’s a bit of a distance to travel with fish.
3 1/2 hours drive.
If you don’t get any takers let me know and I’ll see what I can sort out.
I’d be glad to help you out but I’d rather someone closer help.
