Hi Steve,

No, I am not concerned. When you divide the cost up into the number of Koi we get it really isnt that great a percentage. 1% of a $300.00 Koi is $3.00.
When the new APHIS requirements were getting ready to kick in there was a huge concern that the cost of Koi would go up considerably or that we wouldn't even be able to get Koi. None of the worries materialized.

I would worry about a dealer that uses this as an excuse to raise prices substantially.
