Hi Fred
Good luck with the fish. My father in law (Alf) breeds Koi, he has some huge fish. A couple of years back we bought the contents of a pond as the owner was scared his little boy may fall in. We got about 12 fish and a hoard of equipment, filters, pumps, lights etc. Alf sold these separately and they easily paid for the fish. Make sure you quarantine them before putting them in your pond, they can carry all sorts. It took me ages to net a big black one in this pond. Turned out it was an 8 pound carp from a local fishery. It still had battle scars from fighting with other fish. We put it back where it belonged.
Enjoy.
Regards, Steve
