is anyone who knows about the american species i would be very
interested.


my front pond (three hard plastic tubs totalling 400 gallons) has only
four small Koi. The back yard pond (about 4500 gallons) has about a
dozen Koi of various sizes (largest about 12-14" (30-36cm)) and a bunch
of cheap goldfish that I'm still trying to get rid of. A 'friend' put
them in there as a welcoming gift after we finished building the pond
four years ago.
