Questions for Shawn and the Boys at Mystic...

[mstrseed]

Boy Larry thats going to be some killer shipping cost with just one fish..................why don't you just do a road trip to Dallas? We have 8 going in on shipping the cost of a small steak!!!

[ockoi1]

Your possession!!!...You're kidding, right?

[RookieKoiGuy]

Is that the shiro I took back from the Gardena Koi Show?
Or is that a different koi?

[ockoi1]

Yeah, you are right !!! Thanks, Tom

[Jeff Speck]

Wasn't that the reserve champ at San Diego ? Was confused when I saw it at Inland in the summer...

[Jimbo]

I think it was non gosanke grand champ and it doe's sound to kosher if it was still at the dealer in the summer.

Bill, will you be shipping to northern California via air cargo or ground? Nearest airport is Redding. And if ground, might we be able to go UPS instead of FedEx? I have my UPS driver trained in the fine art of koi delivery to my particular address. FedEx will be horrified by my road this time of year and perhaps pass by my specially designed mudbog course to the house if I'm not standing right next to my mailbox a quarter mile away when the fish is delivered....

Jeff,

You're right, this is my fish that won at SD, and another prizes at the Gardena Show on the same year. I've asked Peter and Joe to keep it in their big pond to grow out more, because my pond is too small for it( too many koi at home)

That seems to be common. I know of one guy who wins big all the time...and he doesn't even have a pond. the dealer brings his fish to the show for him, and takes them back to his facility. They are boarded there permanently.

I see--it's a Lee A. type of situation. I got no problem with it. Probably sounded nosy. Hopefully your new shiros will turn out that nice...
