| About a year ago the spouse bought some "koi" at Walmart, six for a dollar.
We have just figured out that they are Shubunkin Goldfish. Still a good price I suppose? |

| Only if you wanted Shubunkin's. Not so much if you really wanted Koi. |

| That is an excellent price for Shubunkins which are easier to keep and just as pretty as koi and who won't outgrow your pond. I'd say you got a great deal. |

| Walmart doesn't usually have great pet departments but six for a dollar koi are an impossibility even for culls. |

| I bought two koi at Walmart. They had them mixed in with all the other goldfish. You really have to study them at first to tell which is which. And oddly enough, I bought a dozen goldfish at the bait shop for $2.00 and they are far prettier than the Wally Koi. |

| I had some baby "goldfish" that spawned in my pond, and it was only a year later I noticed they all had barbells and were actually baby Koi! Made me very happy as I had just lost their dad to illness. They sorta look like him too, just not as bright a color. But I love em all none the less. |
