It is winter and new owners will not allow her to retrieve fish when it is warmer. My mother is obsessed with her fish and devastated to leave them with these people. Does anyone love theirs and have room to add a new family? She lives in north Jersey. Would love to give her the relief knowing someone else will be talking to them.

@Sspet
Maybe there are koi clubs near you. You could do a search online to find out.
Maybe these places if you call them will know what you can do w/the fish. They might know people that are just starting out and will want them. It's so cold now tho I don't now if you can transfer the fish right now to a new pond.

Thank you. That is her issue, she doesn’t want to disturb her babies but does not trust new buyers.

Thank you. I do have quite a few large fish tanks.ie 55's, 75gals that are redi for a quarantining with good filter set ups. I also Have Praziquantel and a diatom filter waiting for such an occasion. depending on exactly where they are will determine my transport options. my truck has a 120v power outlet factory installed, so running an air pump is no big deal.

I am also in North Jersey, Lower portion of Sussex Co. I would like to see if I can help you and Mom out and do what I can. I do have the room for more fish. Please P.M. and we can work out the details.
That is really nice of you @Beercan31 to take them in. I also think @Sspet is very kind to the fish and your mom. Many people would just walk away and leave the fish in the care of someone who doesn't want them.
