That must have taken ages to type out lol thanks alot.
by the waywas you happy with the fish you bought from gatwick koi?

koimaster

yes i was very happy with the koi i got i didn't notice some of the koi where a little over priced but if your local you can haggle . if you want any futher bkks section help you will find it under
http://www.bkks.co.uk/

it didn't take as long as you think copy and paste is a wonderful tool

dannyboy1978uk

being new to koi keeping and wanting to stock with good quality fish its hard to know what the prices should be in the first place let alone know if they are over priced.

koimaster

a tip is to look for the unfinished fish i.e sumi still to come through, body shape and soild good colour

dannyboy1978uk

Ive notised on some fish the head is a dull white ,does this brighten up as they grow?

koimaster

white is normally a base colour so there for no it really wouldn't

dannyboy1978uk

can you explain about the sumi please, is it a particular colour or just all colours coming through?
