Yep started out w/12 feeder fish about 16 yrs ago and then got some free Sarasa Comets and some Shubunkins. Now have about I'd say 100 fish! At first they produced babies but now I hardly ever see even one little one and that's fine as I have too many already. Would love to see pictures of your fish and pond or ponds.

Nope I'm not a mod, just a member. I went the cheap route w/goldfish as would never want to chance losing a pricey koi fish.

welcome and I have koi from a koi farm in NC but they were rejects as they called them .I bought each one for about 2 to 4 dollars and that was back in 2005 and have not lost any of them yet .My aggie was attacked by a raccoon and hoping she heals .I captured the 2 raccoons and relocated them with the help of animal control telling me where I could relocate them
