Moments before spontaneously combusting Phyllis and Jim Hurley
at was heard opining:

We visited your site. Nice.

Where do you sell your baby koi?

Thank you. Some are sold "word of mouth," and the rest go to stores that
sell fish. One place took over 300 about 2 weeks ago. Selling or giving
away the larger ones has been a slight problem. People want the smaller,
cuter, cheaper ones. Last spring I was lucky as some people on our road put
in a 6,000g pond and took them on trade for a liner.

Jim has avoided letting ours grow up
unless he has a sales outlet. We just leave the eggs in the pond and
the parents and mosquito fish handle it from there.

Those eggs left in our ponds usually end up to be 10 to 15 fingerlings we
remove the following spring. When moving some plants around behind the
house we found about 15 more 3 to 4" koi. They'll be held until the next
batch goes.
