Thank you :) I have 5 koi ( 2 of which are butterfly, 1 solid orange ogon, and one is black with white markings) 2 blue shubbies, 2 comets, 1 black goldfish and 3 goldfish from a festival. Lots of minnows rosey and silver/black.

And if anyone can tell me the type of koi this black one is?

His pectorals are black with the edges trimmed in white and has a white belly. He's really hard to get a good picture of
Nice collection. How many gallons is your pond?

Here's a pic of most of my fish. I don't feed them much so they don't get that big. The biggest one is that spotted white/grey/black one. He's about 6 inches long from 3" when I first got him. But not only longer, he's gotten a lot fatter.

The two gold ones on top are also koi. The pale ones with the red dots on their heads are feeders. They were tiny when I got them last year. The big black one is a feeder who has grown 2-3x as big as another feeder we got at the same time.

The two orange ones on the right are feeders we got this year.

The big orange and white one in the middle is a Shubunkin that really grew a lot just last year. Same thing, all these fish are not just longer, they are a lot fatter.

Also, you can see a lot of algae fuzz sludge at the bottom. The water is absolutely clear, hard to see on this photo. Not sure of the sludge is from the sludge eating stuff I've added to the pond because I usually don't have that after vacuuming.

Wow, That bobcat picture is unbelievable. One showed up in Chicago a few years ago and the police killed it because they didn't know what else to do.
Mmathis, your fish are really pretty. JW, I like the way the orange from your fish goes into their fins and tails. It's neat to see so many pretty orange goldfish together!

Uhm that video says cougar.... Bobcat and cougar are two different animals... Indiana has had bobcats for decades now, but only just recently there were two confirmed sightings of ( we call em Mountain Lions) Cougars here in south western Indiana.

Very pretty fish and have you bought fish from them before? Just wondering what shape they come to you in.

Hi j.w
No I have not bought from them but turtle mommy had. She said they are good at communication and answering questions when one of the fish came and had some problems, probably due to shipping. She treated them and they are all fine now.
I ordered some from Nextdaykoi before and the fish were fine and active when I got them, no sickness or problem.
I'll let you know how the fish arrive, should be tomorrow or Wednesday.
