My Koi Addiction....

[addy1]

Does this one look pretty? (Someone already bought it!)

Not really pretty to me, it is ok in coloring.

Whom ever bought it has way more money than me!

Do you know a decen souce in be

A step up sounds good, any suggestions?

http://www.mokoi.com/home.htm This is where I got Cha Cha the Chagoi from. It was recommended to me, along with Kodoma . I've also heard good things about Purdin.

Personally if I was going to splurge on a purchase,I'd buy from a reputable dealer( like Kevin Pham or Russell Peters) letting them know my budget....which obviously would mean a smaller koi.

@CometKeith so? Did you buy that Yamato Nishiki?

Hi. No I didn't. The Koi I bought the other day doesn't look happy with the cold weather and I definitely didn't want to take a chance on another fish in this cold weather. We are on our way to Cincinnati right now to visit our youngest daughter who lives there.

We're to get rain and dropping temps this week end

 

[CometKeith]

Yep. You guys are getting Chicago's weather!

Lol how did that post get so screwed up? Oh I know that's what happens when I should be working instead of posting

Thanks @Tula , I'm taking note of your suggestion!

I hope your fish will be ok!
Enjoy your visit with your daughter, and don't worry, that YN was an ugly fish anyway...they're all ugly you shouldn't buy no more....ever!

I've already been outbid on one. Hopefully I'll be outbid on the other one as well.

Buying live Koi on eBay was literally the last thing I needed to know. Way to top off my addiction! lol

Thanks Gemma. It was a great trip. For some reason she kept taking us to Japanese restaurants. At one of them I told her and my wife I'm interested in going to Japan to visit a Koi farm. They both thought it was a fun idea. My daughter is an engineer and she is actually hoping to get transferred there for 3-6 months. Then we had a debate what would more fun to go to China or Japan. Either way my wife didn't seem to mind which was cool. This was taken from a bar from one of them.
Audio. You need to stop buying Koi until you go to Japan! Just thinking out loud ...Maybe a GPF trip to Japan?

This would be incredible! I am doing the landscaping around my pond based on a Japanese tea garden. I am making my own concrete pagoda this winter. I am still looking for a cool Buddha statue and some neat Japanese lanterns. The little patio area is going to be a ying yang symbol made with black and white stone. I have the vision in my head but it's going to take time. lol

Sounds great so I hope you'll share pics with us!
...and while you're looking for your Buddha statue if you come across a nice sleeping dragon or gargoyle let me know....I used to have one but I forgot it outside and the winter cracked it beyond repair
