Well, yeah. That list was pretty good, and a nice checklist of things needed. Things I don't have are the nets (regular and sock), a blue viewing bowl (I have black and it's a heavy rubber monster), and the oxygen tank filled with oxygen. The boxes, the bags, the cushioning, not a problem. Maybe Amquel should be on the list too, but I don't have that either so will have to get that too. I was even thinking maybe a solar powered air pump might be an option if I can't find the oxygen tank...any thoughts on this?

But what about a koi's disposition? If the fight or flight mechanism is a fine hair trigger in the specimen you want to show, wouldn't transport and showing do some traumatizing? Would transport with a laid-back buddy that takes everything as it comes help at all? How soon do they bounce back from the ordeal after getting home? And what about QT? How long?
