FWIW, Koi are more expensive than plain old goldfish. Unless you just
-love- Koi, I'd go with the goldfish for a while until you're pretty
sure you have the pond thing down pat. Less fiscal risk.

Unless you buy the $2.99 variety at PetSmart. Then again we got a comet from
a friend, he is the most awesome fish in the pond.
