We had a church lose all of its koi this winter. so i sold my breeders to them at a nice discount price. and am now awaiting the arrival of 100 1&1/2" - 2" koi. butterfly and standard fin. after a month i may buy 100 more from a different supplier. quarentine them and give them a home. select the top 50 and sell the rest next spring, as they should all be 4-6inches by then. then grow out the 50 to see whch to breed.
my first 100 should arrive tommorrow!
before i get 20 people posting "post some pics".... you know i will!!! this is my first volume purchase, i do hope i am pleased with what shows up! cross your fingers for me, please.....

Post some pics sorry I had too ask That would be cool to buy that many and see the final result but at the same time that is a lot of fish at once too. I would be a little nervous

100 fish is easy ... i hatchout 1000s every year... raise 200- 300 every year.

Koiguy- you must have a lot of people with ponds in your area! I try to sell 2-3 dozen fish a year and it's not easy. I can't imagine selling that many. Luckily one of my regulars has a 20000-30000 gal. pond and always wants fish. My sale fish are usually larger- 12-20".

Mark, For butterfly koi talk to Joe and Cheryl at Blackwater creek. They have probably the most constant nice butterfly koi I know of to buy in bulk. At that amount they will give a nice price break.

THEY'RE HERE GUYS AND GALS!.. got here at 10:20... still acclimating them. the water in the bag was quite warm, and the ph was higher. they all look pretty good. except the 6 that came DOA. been filling the bag with oxygenated water from my basement pond. 1 cup at a time every 10 mins. set up a 5 gal bucket with bubbler and .1% salt. they will spend the afternoon there for observation. because of their size, i think i might build a floating cage for them. and i may just keep them in the basement pond..safer. and i can leave the outdoor pond alone til next year. is that just lazy or what?

Sounds like you are going to have your hands full! Can't wait to see the little guys-
