Welcome Louis! You might be able to find them on-line. Just keyword Myxocyprinus asiaticus and I think you will find what you are seeking. But they get tremendously large and your water temp in the winter might be sort of cool for them. Anyway, welcome and let us know how it works out.

I don't think they will do very well in our winters here in Washington but not sure how cold our pond water gets. I read if your water temp in winter goes below 40 it can stress the fish out and they can die. If it stays around 50 and no lower they say they do ok. Someone said the bigger they get the hardier they are. Maybe take them inside in winter or put a cattle heater in the pond?
