Thread: My Fish Have Won The Koi Lottery

Earlier this year I used the services of a fish health service operating in north London to help with a few issues which was very successful, and I mentioned that I was thinking of closing up and she told me she may know someone who might be interested and she would put me in touch. It turns out that their new home is at a seriously high end apartment complex in Knightsbridge central London, where the apartments range from £10 million to the penthouse at £70 million. They join other koi in a 100,000 litre pond, looked after by a dedicated team and a vet on call if needed. The filters are industrial sized, underneath the pond next to a garage full of Rolls Royce and Lamborghinis.

They were very professional, they took the fish in groups of five over a period of two months, each koi was given a health check before leaving and placed in quarantine ponds at the destination. Last fish went on Wednesday, so now I'm sat looking at a big empty pond and a strangely quiet filter shed. I'm delighted that my koi have gone where they have, but they will be sorely missed.

i have asked for some pictures once all my fish are in, but I found this link which shows the pond where they are going,

All filters and equipment listed in my signature will be listed for sale, plus lots more.

That cannot have been an easy thing to do but it sounds as though they will be treated like royalty. Well done ��
