They are still around, I have not picked up any new fish in years, except the fan tails after the heron ate every single one. I have no way to keep new fish separate from the fish I have.

They have over 100 acres of ponds, third generation raising the fish.
wow; 100 acres of ponds...do they have a website? Can you buy fish online? Wonder if you can pick out the one you want, or like koi, they offer a specific fish for sale...course, shipping live fish isn't cheap, that's why I have to always at least get 3 to justify doing so. Well, that's what I tell my wife, anyway....;)

You sure you don't need to schedule some kind of a business trip around Spring time that just happens to be near Maryland? :joyful:

No shipping and you pick the fish you want out of their big tanks. Point and they get it for you. I got some beautiful dark perfectly marked shubbies, the heron got them in the 1000 gallon pond x years back. When I replaced the fan tails, (from the heron attack) I just told them to pick me out a variety of shubbie colored ones , every one they picked out was perfect.

They are about 20 minutes from us.
