Ain't that the truth, I have 6 that I use in rotation. My wife is a trustee of an animal rescue charity. She deals with the "Rodents". From dwarf hamster to guinea pigs to rabbits so we have a chemical free washing machine she uses for vet beds etc. I just pop them in a hay bag and get her to machine them.

Here are some of my last buys. I got 2 shusui that I loved but both jumped out of the pond and a platinum ogon which I gave to my nephew. The Tancho & Kohaku where purchased as individual koi and the almost full orange kohaku was the one Chris gave to my girls.

Thought I would take some images of the selected fry, and also my stand pipes showing the grooves.

The plan is to move the current growers into the other holding tank its 4k gallon. Once thats done I will grab some more from Chris and once the fry are large enough to go in with my new koimasters purchases then that's what I will do.
I have various people waiting on Fry to get big enough for them to take from me lol. My nephew manages a large garden nursery in Wales and they have two massive ponds that show their pond plant potential and water features. He plans to take some of the fry for there, then split the ponds between plants and features. Plus two members of my staff have been converted to build ponds hahaha they to can have some. I will keep thinning them out to about 50-100 that I will then grow on.
That's if any survive!Built not bought!

I live in Doncaster, I am from Northern Ireland but lived in Mid Wales for 8 years up until around 7 years ago. I still have a place over there in Welshool Powys. I did a bit of work in Dolgellau once I think that's North Wales. Not sure I spot it right hahaha
