If money and pond size were no object, what Koi would you wish to buy for your own tastes and pond.

what would your dream koi be?

or even what would your next buy be if you could find the koi you want?

my wife's choice would be any koi that was very friendly and was almost a pet that took food out of her hand

my choice would be midorigoi around 18 inch's long, justy love the look of the green koi.

Steve at Joso has some in Jonee his just up the road from where we are

A pond full of traditional showas would be on my list

Hi pondy, i would buy the kigoi from rainbow koi, she is a massive 120cm

And would like to find a beutiful massive japanese sanke too, and would probaly try and find the largest jap chagoi i could get too, as i,ve got a soft spot for them.

And for pond ,at least 36,000 gallons or more

I think am going to start doing the lottery pondy, i hope i win.lol.

i wouldnt want a huge pond , something around 8-9000 gallon would be fine for me , 6ft deep , fibreglassed (god how i hate my creases) filteration could be bakki showers and drum filters. a nice pagoda to keep a little shade, gas heating ..not forgetting the bottom drains and having the pnd gravity fed rather than pump fed would be lovely. as for the inhabitants i would love to be able to go to japan and pick and choose like a child in a sweet shop. but realistically a couple more kohaku and a nice light coloured yamabuki ogon would be all i want. i dont wanna be too greedy now do i

ooops misread the post sorry Lau, thought you meant pond wise as well as koi wise

awh53 · 08-09-2011, 09:53 AM

myself i would purchase Asagi , Shusui, Shiro bekko and Ki bekko a couple of each

i already have two Asagi one has lost a lot of orange this year the other has darken on the blue but

chagoi2 · 08-09-2011, 04:33 PM

A nice gin rin chagoi , a rusty red coloured one or a quality midorigoi .

Perhaps a nice shushi aswell

That's easy - a leak free pond and happy, healthy fish! A lottery win seems like a more likely prospect!!
