Mark, Stay away from the spagnum moss as you don't know what else is coming along with the ride. Everything you said in your comments is right on. I would have the media the koi spawned on shipped. some kind of artificial spawning media. You want to ship them as Bekko suggests immediately after spawning so that you can immediately stabilize the temperature before they begin developing. most hatch in 4 days unless there is a real dip in the temp. You'll be delighted how well thgis works. Many parts of the world because of the warmth/seasons get two spawns and a farmer will raise a crop and sell one off.
