My son in law who lives on the outskirts of Cambridge is filling in
his pond soon in anticipation of some building work and so needs to
find a permanent home for about 30 Koi Carp in sizes up to about 12"
long.
I understand they could be worth "serious money" so I am wondering
(on his behalf) how and where he should advertise them to get a fair
price.
Any suggestions, please?

He needs to identify what type each fish is. I sold two Yellow Ogon a
while back, 9" and 10" for £50 the two. Different varieties are worth
different.


Thank you for the tip. I'll pass that on.

Though I think he'll know the types, he has no idea what prices to
expect. Your posting helped!

There are specialist Koi forums on the net. I guess it wouldn't be right for
me to post link, but.....Google is your friend
You can get a better idea of likely prices from one of them.
