I hear most questions around cost because they've heard about how expensive they are.

My favorite comment at the shows from non koi people goes something like this
" Oh, look Mildred.....Giant goldfish! "

or next favorite question..." Can you eat em?" to which I routinely reply, yes and i use a few branches broken off my bonsai and steam them together....the secret sauce is made of malacite green, a lovely cancer causing carcinogen!

I always pronounce the secret sauce with a japanese accent, it goes like this


male-a-kite-toe, Green noe. (gotta love -it )
