Too many koi

[yat993]

Hello, our mature pond in Keller has gotten too crowded with koI and fancy goldfish. I would like to find a new home for at least 10 of them. My I only restriction is that I won't be giving away the larger ones. I would prefer someone that is an experienced pond owner.

Not sure where you are located but I just rehomed an entire pond of koi to someone I found on Craigslist.

I am in SE Keller. I will be out of pocket until around 2 this afternoon. Call me after 2 at xxxxxxxxx send me a pm if interested.

Maybe you misunderstood, I'm not looking for more fish. Just stating how I got rid of mine.

Where is Keller?

 

[mrsclem]

Biggest location I could find was Texas

 

[mrsclem]

Area code confirms that.

@yat993 If you have https://nextdoor.com/ in your area it is a site that you join for your own neighborhood and you can sell, give away and find all kinds of good info for your own specific area. It is all over the United States.

Thanks for all comments. Btw, the tiny city (only 50k or so population) of Keller is in NE Tarrant county, could be considered a Ft Worth suburb. It's about halfway between DFW and Alliance airports.
I posted here because I was hoping to find someone experienced to take some of them.

You can post in the classified section of the forum. I have used neighborhood, Craigslist as well as local papers. Never had a problem getting rid of fish.
I still plan on rehoming my breeding stock from my other koi pond.

I’ve got family down that way, Pitt I can’t just take a road trip and grab a fish or two. We’ve got other members from the Dallas area, maybe they’ll be interested. When/ if you do a classified post here, note that you’re in Texas USA as we have plenty of European and ausis on here as well,

Hi. Good luck with re-homing your Koi. Honestly I would ask an administration to delete your phone number from the post. You are just opening yourself up to scammers that might find your number. There are about 50-100 non members on line on GPF for every 2 or 3 members on at any given time so you don’t know who is reading your messages. There is a private message section on GPF so you can share your contact info if someone wants your fish.
