This is only going to be of interest to those living in the west midlands or staffordshire, however I am trying to thin out the stock in my goldfish pond to make way for a more heavily planted water garden. I only want a few fish in it. Currently I have half a dozen each of Golden Orfe & Blue Orfe about 6"long (& you need 3 of these together as they like to shoal) Shubumpkins, Comets, Goldfish, fancy tri tailed goldfish. 1 largish Ghost Koi 12"plus, 3 medium Ghost Koi 8-10" & an 8" mixed origin metallic koi. The goldfish pond is not heated. I will most certainly split this lot - so if it's just the one goldfish you're after.. you're most welcome!
No charge for any of the fish, BUT, if you can afford to- my 4 daughters and I are doing the walk for life (Breast Cancer) and would appreciate a donation to the charity. |

| I have put some one from another board on to this, he is west midlands but at school and cramming at the moment, so he isnt sure if he will be in touch, in time. |

| There are plenty of fish to go around Sean. I'm going to set up the Quarantine Tank with a selection of 'fish to go', to make catching simpler. I can also stop feeding for a day or two prior to someone coming to take a look to make fish travel a bit safer. Ask the lad to send me an email. If I have a sudden rush of interest, I'd be happy to make sure I kept him a few. |

| Hello, Orfe are 24cms -30cms, koi 45cms-60cms. They're currently in 2000gals. I do have some photos of all fish in pond, not of individual fish. 2 koi are dark golden shade, 1 is silver gray, other is orange and white metallic. Pond is planted and busy so individual photo is not easy! If you have large enough pond for them, and are interested i will bowl and photograph. |

| nice fish, i'll have to find a way of carrying the fish whilst in the car, big plastic boxes? dunno, have to think about that but will see if anyone i know would like some, as long as they donate a bit to the charity as well |

| As I said in email, you need to be sure you have room in your pond for them. Koi are heavy on filters and like plenty of room. What size pond do you have? |

| Linda, just noticed, what 3 bladed propellors have you got? They are my quirk and I am hoping some of mine will cross spawn with sarassa-s |

| 'Wakin', and they seem to have crossed with some other fish in our pond as we found some 'cream' goldfish, distinctive with the tritail and the glittery bit at the base of the tail. They're prone to getting rather rotund too. |
