welcome and 2 of my koi (mutts ) were just a couple of inches long just about 9 years ago and are now over 2 feet long .If i knew what I know now I would never have gotten koi .But they are here and love them and they become more than just a fish .

Welcome Mario! This 4th of July will be the start of my 3rd year with my pond. I have had fish for most of my life. My grandparents started me off with fresh water when I was in grade school. For the past 28 years I have had saltwater. Most or those years have been reef tanks. I currently have a 110 reef tank, a 54 corner reef tank, and two 29 gallon reef tanks. Have assortment of fish in all of my tanks but one of my favorite is my 29 gallon that I have seahorses, a pipefish and a couple of gobies in.
