    Some advice please

    Hi everyone,
    I joined the group to get some advice, but it may be that this site is specifically for Koi purists, and you may direct me elsewhere.
    I have been living in the same house for 25 years, and about 12 years ago we dug a large pond, and without too much knowledge, purchased an external filter system, and additional UV filter. Well, we purchased various fish at Blagdon, which was near to us, when it was open. In short, my pond keeping isn't brilliant, I get caught out most Springs by green water, and struggle to get it clear (ish), but manage over a few weeks, it's generally ok.
    In short, despite my shortcomings, the fish seem very contented, and have grown very large, and breed freely. We love them, and have had great enjoyment sitting in the garden watching them over the years.
    We now have to move house, and it's unlikely that a purchaser will have a sudden urge to to take over the care of my fish. I haven't a clue what they are, there's various colours, a very large butterfly Koi, a very large grey fish, which I think is called a ghost koi. Bright orange, black and white, all sorts. They re not specimen fish, that's for certain. They range from 250 cms to 650cms. I guess there's 15 fish, as well as a host of smaller ones, which a kingfisher comes and takes from time to time.
    I would want some money for them, but I'm not greedy, I want them to be safe in new sympathetic hands.
    I hope you can offer advice.
    Best wishes
    Steve

    The best bet would be to get some pictures of them and add them on here for now, but places like gumtree will find buyers for you too.
