    Home Move (Koi Have To Go)

    Home move (Koi Have To Go) West Lancashire

    Hi everyone,

    After months of hard graft during lockdown in 2020 and just two years running I'm going to have to close my pond down due to an unexpected house move.

    I'm going to keep all my kit and start again, but probably not for 6 months or so as there are going to be other priorities when we move into the new house.

    So I've made the hardest decision that I need to re-home my koi.

    I only have seven, all a good size now ( I would say all over 45cm with a couple probably touching 55-60cm)

    2x Supplied by Oak Koi Preston
    1x Gin Rin Matsuba (Has developed a couple of large Shimmies)
    1x Hi-Utsuri

    5x Supplied by Holmeswood Koi
    1x Sanke
    1x Showa
    1x Yamabuki
    1x Benigoi
    1x Gin Rin Soragoi

    I am not particularly looking to make money from them so open to offers, but would really like to see them re-homed with someone that has a decent set up and will take good care of them.

    They all look to be health, no flashing or anything, but still being young koi, one or two have suffered from a bit of pox over the past couple of seasons, but fingers crossed this seems to have cleared up this summer.

    The pond is heated and currently still at 20°c.

    Sorry, Just a quick video for now, but I will try and ‘bowl’ them over the weekend and get some better pictures & accurate measurements.

    In the meantime anyone local and serious, that would like to come and view the fish in the pond are very welcome.

    I'm no expert on, colour, shape etc. but the Sanke and Soragoi are I would say the pick and probably the nicest fish?

    Buyers would need to have their own bags and boxes for transport.

    thanks for reading.

    Hi all,
    I'm not the best at handling Koi but managed a few bowled photos.
    All except the Gin Matsuba and the Yamabuki, which were both far to skittish and I didn't fancy stressing them out any more than they were.
