Thanks Steve and Michael
Appreciate all your thoughts and advise. I agree with what both of you have said. I will seriusly look around. Only problem is sometimes it is difficult to strike a friendship with a dealer whom you can trust. This Momotaro dealer is building my pond for me and he is very easy going. It is very tough just to walk up to a dealer and ask for help, besides i am a beginner and probably just be ignored
I have read as much as i can about fish but feel pressured to choose in front of all these so called expert. I like to analyse the fish the way i have been taught to from the internet but afraid that these experts will make me feel like a fool. I am not sure if any of you remember your first koi trip but at this point being a beginner it is scary, embarassing and daunting.
I think i need to start another thread as this thread is being side tracked by myself.
I will keep u all informed.
thanks again
