Good home wanted for large, tame, koi carp

[Pignut]

I have about 11 koi looking for a new home all very healthy and up to a foot in length they are tame enough to take food from your hand

I have to fill in my pond so they have to go!

Probably best to leave it a month before collection

 

[fishy1]

Are these for eating or as pets? Or do you not mind?

And would you gut and post them and I'll pay postage?

With runny bannock mix as batter..... Yum yum

Poor little fishes

Fancy koi that size are worth selling to other collectors surely?
This site says they go for £100's

and this one will let you sell for free

we have the same problem here - inherited some carp with our new house, but don't really want them

apparently they go for a lot of money, but our local fish shop wouldn't buy them, offering instead to "take them off our hands" at no cost to us.... no doubt to be sold on at much profit!

If anyone here wants them, they can have them for nowt.

Sorry - somebody has to do it. Release them into the wild for some extra good luck...

what sort of habitat? small river / big river / lake? would they survive in the uk?

 

[mace242]

Not the Thames apparently - see http://www.bushcraftuk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=27932

there are some specimine fish amongst them! Feels wrong to take money for much loved pets, if the collector wants to make a donation to charity that would be good

 

[Chopper]

Do they come with chips ??????????
