We have had our 250 gallon pond for around six years and now 7 Koi in
it - a number of which were from when we built the pond. The pond is
well-oxygenated and well filtered. However the fish have grown
considerably and we reckon there is 84" of fish now which as we
understand it means we have roughly 4x as much fish as we should have
for the volume of water. They are nonetheless healthy and we're fond of
them but some will have to go. What are our options? We would like the
ones we get rid of to a) go to a good home (natch) and ideally
together. Of course they must be worth a few quid but that is secondary
to us (but we're not daft). We have 3 or 4 16"+ ones we would have to
remove and would keep 3 including one really nice large one.


I've got a pond in north essex which is understocked, a 15" ghost and
10" Japanese koi. I would be happy to give a good home to one or two
fish, the pond is around 900 gallons and well looked after.
Let me know if you are local.
