Thanks, ladies, glad you approve. I wanted butterflys and about 4 months ago saw my first Gin Rin and they are so sparkly! Now, the bad thing about buying and having fish shipped is that you need to buy as many as possible or affordable in my case to make the high shipping cost worthwhile. There is only one shipping cost but you can combine as many fish as you want. I will have a load of fun with them in the basement all winter to enjoy. Looking forward to receiving them on Friday! Will take lots of pics while they are inside the house, easier to photograph, or at least that's what I'm hoping. Using skimmer pump since no pumps left at local stores, darn it. But, time to bring it in anyhow. May leave the waterfall and fountain running while I'm gone to visit my daughter for Christmas, but the weather will have to convince me of no solid freezes while I'm gone, and I bet that's not going to happen. Probably will shut everything down this weekend, AND get as much of the big patch of algae out that I can. Leaving all the algae on the sides, just not this bunch that looks like a huge nest.
Oh, and FYI, I am learning as I go. Got quite a few pointers from Larkin on do's and don'ts on buying koi. I made some good choices and some not so good, but I still like the fish, just know more of what to look for now.
