    Home move / ending hobby

    Hi everyone

    We hope to be moving house by the spring, and I won’t be setting up a new pond again.

    Therefore, for genuine enthusiasts, I need to re-home my lovely koi. I have 10 of them 8 of them are large (over 30cm) and two are about 25cm. All different and mostly Japanese.
    I am not looking to make a profit from them and happy to see them re-homed just for a modest amount, say £50/£100 each.

    I have had them all for approx 8 years and are all healthy and live in a pond that I heat in winter to 14°c.

    I do not have means to ‘bowl’ them and take pictures, but I do have some ‘general’ shots I can share. Any buyers would need to have their own bags and boxes as I don’t have any.

    thanks for reading.

    For nice koi it could be worth a day out before lock down comes back in again

    Although you could pull a Dominic Cummings or need to test your eye sight

    This could be a way for me to restock after my devastating loses of the last few months. For the sake of your koi though and my stress levels, I need to ensure that my pond is safe again.

    Good luck with the move, by the way.
