New Platinum Butterfly Koi

[RobAmy]

Well seeing my last platinum sadly vanished I think by a frog or a snake. I decided to get another one. The little guy is doing great. He or she is already eating with the big boys. Not skittish at all and no hiding. It is hanging out with the new yellow and white koi. I can't wait for the little guy to grow. I think platinums are my favorite when larger. Here are a coupe of quick picks

Beautiful fish !!

What a handsome fish!

 

[Priscilla]

Love him (or her).

I might go get one tomorrow. My original pick (remember that debacle - bought the wrong fish thanks to my 2yo tearing up the pet store) is still there. My mom owes me a birthday present, so I might collect with that fish.

Oh sorry, A frog? Wow I am under estimating the ability of frogs. Is it huge bull frogs? If so I will make sure I don't let any frog eating fish take up residency. I live in Michigan and have inland lakes all around me so will relocate any large fish eating frogs for sure!!!

@RobAmy Very pretty one and they stand out from all the other fish like a glowing light.

I really like the white fish in the ponds.

Not sure if it was a frog but one just recently caught a bird so it's possible. I did see a snake around for a few days. Not sure what happen. I never found a body and I appears all the other fish are still there. It could of just died also.

I so want one, but have no idea where to get one in my area...Cincinnati, Ohio. Our local hatchery had none and admitted their selection this year wasn't great.

I've seen some various butterfly koi's at Pet Smart, and specialty fish stores in Kalamazoo. Maybe you could call and ask the Managers about finding a specific color and type for you in your area?

Robamy, Nice picture of your new koi. It's really nice looking! These pictures are making me want a koi now!

I have had the odd grass snake come by every year it seems, then the little fish in the bottom pond act all scared and hide. I think that grass snake eats the odd goldfish in the bottom pond.
