I'm really excited. I've spoken to somebody at a koi farm and I've just ordered a batch of 2-3 week old koi fry from Showa parents! They are being delivered in the middle of next week, and I intend to bring them on in my bedroom at university. Needless to say, my four other house mates looked at me like I was mad when I asked if they would have any objections to me putting a pond in my bedroom for 6 weeks, but they're pretty easy going!
I'm setting it all up on Monday/Tuesday (buying the pre-formed pond, a smaller pump and filter (which will have a carefully covered inlet), dechlorinator, bacteria to boost the new filter, etc etc tomorrow morning).
So, just a bit of last minute swotting up on koi raising and I'm good to give it a go, so fingers crossed! I'll put some photos on if you guys would like?
Regards,
Ed
