    I have about 15-18 fry the same sizes as the ones in John's link (about 1.5"). Mother is a Hirasawa chag, fathers are varied - Sanke, Hariwake, Ochiba, Matsuba and Showa.

    They will be free to anyone who wants to collect them from North Kent as I potentially have an impending house move so will not be able to keep them.

    Send me a PM if interested.

    It already has a koi pond - Needs work before it will hold water, and possibly too small at 7 metres long but only about 2 metres at widest point going down to about 70cm at thinnest point. It had mid-level returns but don't know about a bottom drain as it had loads of muck in the bottom.

    It is a concrete koi pond, all tiled etc. I think its going to end up being more work than if there was no pond at all as I can see it not being good enough and will end up needing a skip and having to break it all up. Looks to be rendered and painted with pond sealer and the sealer is flaking off so even recommissioning it will be some work. Would do until I've got the money to rebuild though.
