You got the whole bay area to find koi...I think you should search and find one your are comfortable to deal with.

Hey, Russ . . .

See that triangle with the little exclamation point at the bottom left of each post? That's for reporting spam, etc. And it done been used this morning.

In fact, it's been used 2X that I know of.

Alot of unhealthy koi out there and I would watch where I buy from especially when one guy in the Bay Area bought Koi from a aquarium shop and the next day he killed all his koi in his pond...so be wary!!!

edit by mod-speaks volumes so I'l leave it

I’d like to get a bunch of baby koi!

I think the SF koi that I like sell for 3 for $15, & that is my budget.
I work in shipping & receiving, entry level.

Is there anyway that wholesalers will sell to the public?
Sometimes I only want a few fish, not wholesale…

& I’m dreading doing my taxes soon.
Koi grow fast. Your tanks are a temporary solution, at best. If you are serious about keeping koi, spend time learning about how to properly keep koi and go about getting yourself a proper pond.

It's one thing to keep babies in a tank temporarily. It is another to have no plan beyond that.

(If you are "fishing" for business as some suspect, you have come to the wrong place to move 3 for $15. )

removed by mod and by the way...yeah whatever...I think I'll stick to a real koi dealer with real tanks etc that doesn't use google to figure out how to care for his koi.
