    Initial crew

    So I promised myself initially 6 small max 15 cm fish on start up. So here’s the first 10 :-)

    Frank. 47 cm and very greedy, I’m obviously feeding very sparingly but Frank takes 75% of the food!

    coles petrol station near me

    Cantona. another greedy fish

    nearest chevron texaco station

    Pete Butcher. Winner of the show and grow.



    Unnamed arriving shortly

    couldnt resist this from Exclusively Koi and close to Franks size to give him some competition!

    closest exxon to me now

    These are all smaller fish from Quality Nishikigoi, 15-20 cm, thanks to (Gary) Algarth for the FaceTime viewing and collection on these! Really nice fish at a reasonable price and the Gin rin Kohaku and Little Kujaku are really nice

    Although it’s tiny I’ve not seen a Tancho Goshiki before so really like this toddler.

    Nice lookers there. Back in May I bought one very much like your last pic, he has changed so much over that time, almost daily I could see his pattern and colours changing. Be interested to hear If your one does the same.

    Yes but the secret weapon will be a massive heater on a small pond! I heard some semi-good new about still having a job today, that first full pay packet could yield the heat pump in the Knick of time
