| I was a member of this Forum about 7yrs ago.I have not been on for at least 3 years.Had to sign up again.
I live in North East PA.I am moving back to Long Island N.Y. I have a pond for about 6 years.I started with 3 Gold Fish and 6 Baby Koi.I still have every Fish.The pond is too small for the Koi,I had 6 back surgeries and both knees replaced 2 times in the last 2 years. I am very sad about giving up my Koi.As you know raising them for 6 years,they are like your children.I would say they are about 22 ijches give or take.They are very healthy.They have never been sick.You might think they are small for 6 years old.Up here it frosts in end of Sept and we still frost until the 1st week of June.They do not eat for 6 months.I feed them good in the summer.I have DYI Filters(55Gal. Drums)etc. I can take some pictures of them if interested.I just want to make sure they go to someone who knows how to take care of Koi.I am not being snobish,but I would like someone who is not a beginner and has at least 3 years raising Koi,or more!!! Thank You
I do not know if you can acess my email from here.I will check back. Excuse the typos it is 2AM and I have been up since 4 AM |

| Hi Doug (^_^) I'm appreciated your love for Koi. I know it's hard to give them with long time relationship. I've kept more than 20 Koi in my pond they are real living treasure.

| Hi Dave: I have been ponding for 9+ years now and have a pond that is approx. 3,000 gals. I have had koi since I have been ponding. When I had to move a little over 4 years ago I had to part with my 5 year old koi and it was heartbreaking. I have a bottom drain that feeds my settlement pond then the water is pumped into the skippy filter to a top pond before it feeds the waterfall. I am in NE Ohio and would be interested in taking your koi (unless someone closer to you responds) but I will have to find a way to transport them. I am not able to e-mail you from this website. If you are able to e-mail me from my member page I will appreciate it. I, too, will check back later. Jenny |

| Hi Doug: I apologize for getting your name wrong. I read fast and sometimes don't comprehend what I'm reading. Haven't heard from you regarding your fish. Did you find someone to take them? I went on your user page but there is no e-mail link. To send me an e-mail just click on my user name and select send e-mail. Jenny |
