So Koi are different from other fish is the answer to my question. "Normal" or "king" carp are harvested through the winter months as a freference, I just thought Koi would be the same.
A fish does not know how much it costs so has no bearing on weather it is safe or not. What I do know is that I wil be buying some more Koi next weekend or the weekend after (while the sales are still on) and if I thought I was wasting my money (however much) or thought the fish would die, I would not do it.
Just a little preperation, caution and care will have a happy ending
