I'll have to double check, but I think that's about right. We stopped killing fish with improper pond and lack of knowledge about 4 years ago. I've built a proper koi pond since then and now we're building our collection. I'm in the process of building our second pond (smaller-around 6,000) that will be finished next spring - I hope. That pond will be our prep pond for the show fish. Very low population.

EDIT: I went back and looked at when we purchased our very first fish from Kevin. Is was exactly 2 years ago this month we purchased a Hi Utsuri - Very big girl. She's doing well with us so far.

All the best to Dick and yourself. You sure have come a long way since a couple of years ago.

"They" say if you purchase what you like, you'll never be dissapointed. Add that advice with someone who can point you in the right direction and keep you from making costly mistakes, that is a great combination.

Now our goal is to keep improving our water so these babies can grow strong and realize their true potential one day.
