Default New Koi Today

Well as many of you may or may not know, I have a 3200 gal pond I built
last fall. Today, i took the plunge and bought 5 Butterfly Koi from Pets
Smart (Yes Pets smart) I brought them home, I took a tub and added some
pond water as well as the water from the Box store, now they're
acclimating themselves to the new surroundings.
I'll put them in the pond sometime tomorrow


Buterfly koi are just so beautiful. We have 2 or 3 and want more. We
saw yellow and plum butterfly koi at a show, they were just gorgeous -
I don't think I've ever seen more beautiful koi. But they were worth a
small fortune, way out of our reach!! A breeder from, I think,
Louisiana, had them in competition!!
Hope your new babies are happy and enjoying their new digs! Don't be
surprised if they hide for a few days. We had one hide for 3 mos,
thought sure he was gone!
