Putting things into perspective

Very good point, why buy a koi of that caliber only for it to go down because one lacks the facility to keep that quality up. Before anyone buys or considers buying a koi of this caliber make sure you're just as ready in your koi husbandry skills.

I know people can afford a $50K koi; but as a hobbyist, consider the koi first, not the price tag. And if it's only a trophy you're after it would be much cheaper to buy a trophy and spare the koi.
