koi keeper/breeder in Viet Nam??

just curious if there's any koi keeper/breeder in Viet Nam? also, how do I send fish to Viet Nam?

my brother has a few giant mud ponds. each mud pond can accommodate up to 80,000 fish with average 1.5 KG each. He agreed to put a few koi in his pond and let them grow.

I think you should make a trip to Japan and buy as many tosai there then have them shipped to Vietnam....I have thought about doin it in the Philippines where my province is like Southern Japan. To me I would waste time sending fish from the States to Vietnam, I would rather hand select fish in Japan and have it shipped there.

that would cost too much money. I don't think he wants to get into breeding business. I just want him to have some koi for personal enjoyment. he has a 20 x 50 ft mud pond that he keep his personal collection but no koi.

I chatted with a Vietnamese Shrimp farmer who was building some new mudponds for Koi Breeding last year (on another forum) but I havn't been able to reach him or find out about others... yet. I put out an inquiry on another forum so hopefully I'll get some feedback sometime soon.
Got nothing of value when I googled it .
