One thing you may get from Israel is a fish that has been injected with a live virus KHV serium. Ask a koi health expert such as at UGA and see what they say about that. Would they take one home? No one knows if such koi can/will carriers of the virus to other fish. It is very unnecessary risk to all koi to be moving around koi that have had ANY exposure to KHV.
So if those koi are not at top levels, and have had KHV exposure, I don't understand the reasons for purchasing them. If you want less expensive koi, there are many excellent domestic breeders. If you want top quality, there are Japanese imports.
